After being turned down by numerous ballet companies in Europe because she is too tall for most principal male dancers Yana Booth today launched the Pretty Polly tights collection.
The Evening Standard revealed that 6ft tall 21-year-old Ms Booth, from Bexleyheath, was having problems putting her training at the Bolshoi Ballet to good use because of her 37-inch legs.
But she then went on to win Miss Great Britain and fashion houses soon queued to sign her up.
