green 6 Posted November 18, 2006 I like petites or capris or flood pants and I am 5'6". I might have a long torso and this might be a good thing according to my late Mum. It seems that as you age your spine shrinks. I guess this means that if you have long legs and a short torso when you are young, you may be shit outta luck when you are an old fart! Oooh, lemme see, this could translate to an individual who has 3.5 feet long legs, a 2 foot long trunk, and then a head.............. Maybe a head. Canadians have heads, don't we?

Lila 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Mandi Ok my pants drag on the ground. Or I wear taller shoes. I just never really invested too much into a pair of pants to want to shorten them. But I definetly do find petite are just a tad too short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted November 18, 2006 Ok, green, what's your inside crotch to floor measurement? Cause if you're the same height as me..... Lila, it's not that I care about my pants (LOL, nice thing of me to say), just that I hate getting them wet.. you know, if it rains, or snows. THEN, I often sit with one of my legs under my butt/thighs, and end up with wet spots on the back of my pants! Maybe I just need to turn into one of those girls who wear the stilettos with jeans?

Lila 0 Posted November 18, 2006 I think the stilletos would hurt your butt if you sat on them. OUCH!!!! And by the way thats bad for your posture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Okay, I just got to these posts now....Lila & Mandi....so I measured like you said...from the crotch basically the top of my leg where it "joins") to the actual floor....and the measurement was 28.25 inches. Of course if I measured to where I would want my pants to hang (which would not be touching the floor!) it would be less. Hmmmm so maybe I do have short legs.

green 6 Posted November 20, 2006 I fit jeans that have a 28" inseam and I am 5'6". I like to wear pants that end at the ankle, and some people might find them a tiny bit short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

green 6 Posted November 20, 2006 My real hair colour was strawberry blonde. You know, that reddish blonde colour. And, like a redhead, I don't tan. This is why my skin looks really good for my age. I spent the summers indoors. I used to hate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
