Good question. And the best answer I can think of is very long.

Ever wonder why the costume is really necessary? I mean, how would they recognize her anyway? Isn't the mask enough? Height. Episode, I believe it was 13. Or maybe 14. Hold on I'll check the guide. Ok! It was 12. It seemed like it was for simply humor when Hibiki mentioned the "awesome pants" or whatever she said. Or maybe it wasn't awesome. Either way, it was pants and it was a compliment. From there it could be anything. Platform shoes? I don't know. Just something, anything, to add height. I'll say right now that there is nothing to explain about the eyes. They do match, just not in color.

And that is my counterpoint to your counterpoint.
