From my perspective, those aren't tiny hands at all. I wear a
size 3 1/2 ring, and the only thimble that fits was my
grandmother's. Everyone in my mother's family has fine bones, and small
hands and tiny
feet. I'm a comparative clodhopper, with a size 6 shoe. For someone my
height-- 5'7" --it's ridiculous to have such wee tootsies.

One of my grandmothers was tiny...maybe 4'7". very petite, and had nine
children. The other was 5'6" or 7" and hands which could easily cover a
dinner plate. I think I took after her. My right hand ring-finger size is
8 or 8 1/2, and I can never find *nice* leather gloves which fit. Except
men's...

This thimble topic is fascinating. I've also never wondered how
they sized them before. Thanks for bringing it up!

My pleasure. It would never have come up if I had not been given a Very
Large Hint by my DD about what DSIL would like for his birthday in February.
