In addition to the message below, please note that many Feng Shui Masters
feel that if you are installing mirrors please remember not to install too
"short " a mirror such that it cut's off a person's head or when you view
the mirror, part of your head is missing.
This is inauspicious.

Do I need a full length mirror?

As for the lower part of the body, it is ok if the mirror covers say from
the shoulder to the head of the body. For example like the bathroom mirror.
You do not need to install a full length mirror.
