Alice's height varies tremendously throughout the course of the story, and after some of her changes Lewis Carroll tells us how tall she is.

After her first change she is only ten inches high, after her second, she's over nine foot. When she meets the Caterpillar, both she and it are three inches tall and when she meets the Duchess she is nine inches. Before she attends the Mad Tea Party, she nibbles some mushroom so that she is two foot high, and when she finds herself back at the door to the beautiful garden, she nibbles some more so that she is a foot tall and can fit through.

What Carroll never tells us, however, is how tall Alice is when she starts out and takes that first, fateful trip down the rabbit hole.
