Longer Length Trousers

HELP

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?

)

Re: Longer Length Trousers

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.

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

Re: Longer Length Trousers

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

Re: Longer Length Trousers

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.

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.

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.
