X-Long! Help!!!
Hi
I need some help.
Well this is the issue, I’m tall and I like it but there is a disadvantage.
I always have issues finding the right pants for me. I’m 5’11” and every time I need to buy a pair of dress pants I go through hell. I can’t find the right length for me they are always toooo short. I have to wear 37 inseam but I can't to find them. I usually go to the Gap, Oldnavy, Express and nothing. I mean these are the stores that carry long inseam but they are simply not long enough for me. I like my pants to cover my shoes if not I can’t wear them. Some times out of desperation I will buy them and I take the hem off. I’m sick of having to do that. Another thing that I do is buying them 2 sizes larger so they can look longer on me and that is not flattering at all to my body.
I can’t help but to feel odd because of my height. It is a shame that stores out there only focus on the average length. (No offence) I mean I’m sure that I’m not the only one out there.
This is just a headache.
I need some suggestions from you guys.
Please help
Thank you

Yeah I tried them too but not long enough... Their pants are cut funny.. I would have to have lots of hips for them to look nice on me.
Thanks though

Never thought of that... do they have dress pants too? are they long?
The reason is because I'm ok with the jeans I go to The Buckle and they always have them there for me..

Re: X-Long! Help!!!
Alloy.com has a lot of extended inseams. I don't know how old you are but you might try that!

Re: X-Long! Help!!!
I have very long legs as well, I wear 36" inseam. Tall Girl carries inseams up to 40" I believe. I love to buy my jeans from there, they always carry really good designer jeans too. I don't think they are an online store, just brick and mortar. Perhaps you could look to see if there is one in your area.

Hey! I happen to LOVE NY & Co.! That's where I get ALL of my work clothes from!
Best of luck finding a store sweetie! Have you tried to look online for specialty stores?

Re: X-Long! Help!!!
Hey, I Feel 4 Ya... I'm 6'0" ... Here In Canada they have a store called Tall Girls... I wonder If there's One in the states? They Have dress pants and some nice jr. Fit jeans... (They Dont All look like out of fashion granny clothes) ...And the inseam in the store goes from 36" to as long as 39" I believe. http://www.tallgirlshop.com/stores/allus.php
Yep, I just checked... There are stores in the states! That link shows a list of the stores in USA
LOL Ur luckier than I am...Im Sure where u are in USA there are WAY more stores with long inseams...Here In Canada they are harder to find...U just hav to do your research on the net and look around... GOOD LUCK!...
-Sabrina
