Longer Length Trousers
 
HELP:confused: Where do you buy womens longer length trousers in Brisbane/Sunshine coast? Have searched everywhere and they only seem to do standard and short. Only other thought is to order from Marks and Spencer (how desperate is that?:eek:)

I could swear I saw a post the other day complaining about trousers only being available in normal or long with no short lengths available. :confused:

My wife always has to take the legs up when she buys trousers. She is a bit short :D

I tend not to buy women's trousers, long in the leg or not, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Im 5'8" and have managed to buy trousers and jeans from Target. Jeans at Jeans West are also long enough.

Not all are long enough just a case of trying a few I guess. Good Luck!

That generally applies to mens trousers/jeans. Unless you have a 102cm waist in which case short leg suddenly becomes abundant.

The wife has the inverse problem which I find even more perculiar - she's 5'0" and cant find anything that fits withut taking it straight from the retailer to a tailor to get it adjusted.

I have the same problem but with men's !
I am 32"/33" and cannot find anything to fit so I buy everything from M&S online.
It takes a little while to arrrive but the quality is OK and I know they will fit.

Wish I could take trousers to be altered but they never have a hem long enough!! Guess when you take yours along they maybe lose their line. Looks like I have no option but to put an order through to Marks and Spencer - would prefer Next but don't think they do overseas orders.

They do, I only ever buy straight leg jeans. Can't buy boot cut or anything with embellishment around the bottoms. To be honest I spend the whole year wearing cropped pants because they are the only comfortable thing.

You are right Next don't do overseas yet. You could find a nice family member and have delivered to them and get them to post onward.
