Originally posted by Theresa No, I am lame like that. How do you get the proper length without trying them on and measuring? AND I don't have a sewing machine, so I would have to do it by hand, which I suck at... It would take me more time, and more money to buy replacement pants for the ones I fucked up than if I had just went to get them hemmed somewhere professional. LOL!

first you pin them at the length you want, just like they do when you take them to the shop....
then you get this


turn your pants inside out, place the tape inside the bit you want to hem and iron it and TA DA.... you got yourself a hem, without a needle and thread

easy as 1,2,3

i agree with the self hemming, but i have learned that self hemming my pants could lead to disaster. i would rather have someone with a professional machine hem my pants, and have them cuffed/non cuffed depending on the pants.

lol, shorties

Holy shit, that is brilliant.

I have never seen that before!

However, as LeopoldStotch said, I think I would rather take it to someone I know will do it right instead of taking the chance of fucking it up myself. Plus, I life cuffs on pants as well

Try being tall. I have to buy extra long jeans and those are just as hard to find, and usually aren't long enough anyway.

Pfft. being short is obviously easy.

Um, no.

Being short comes with a lot of disadvantages.

Don't make me bite your ankles.

while youre down there..

...tie my shoe?

and pfft. being short is easy. you can wear heels and not be taller than 90% of the population, your legs dont get stuck in awkward angles when you're on public transpo AND people can pat you on the head. seriously. lucky.

please make this thread stop

oops

I don't like people touching my head with their nasty dirty hands.

bullshit to that. I find it hard to find jeans of 29" inside leg or 30" most are 32" or 34" I mean just cos my waist isn't under 34" doesn't make me a giant :\

And sizing has gone to shit here in the last 2 years. XL used to be 48-50" and XXL 50-52" or 52-54" but now XXL is 46-48" on many brands so they go on about s tocking 'bigger sizes' but when u literally need XXL to not have skin-clenching unease it's not fun. Canadian sizes are much better, my brother sends me the hockey t-shirts in XXL and they fit a dream.

You don't need assistance to reach things up high, you're always allowed on all of the rides at the amusement park (assuming you're not super tall), you can see better at concerts, movies etc. seriously. lucky.

That has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. DO NOT touch my clean hair with your nasty disgusting hands... ever.

right here bitch
I'm 5'11.5 and most stores don't accomodate my height, pants-wise.

I think shorter girls have it way easier... at least you have the option of hemming. 50% of the pants I try on are too short in the leg... what am I going to do? Request extra fabric and have it attached to the bottom??? lol don't think so

I inherited my dads skinny legs and I've had to have pants taken in at the leg. THAT is a pain in the ass. Speaking of ass... most pants I try on make me look like I crapped myself because the ass on them is so huge - so I end up buying most jeans with some percentage of spandex in the fabric.

Where do you get your pants hemmed anyway?
The one and only time I ever had to get them hemmed was when I bought a pair of LuluLemons with a 38inch in-seam (HOLLA!) and that cost me a whole $6.50. Most department stores employ seamstress for defective merchandise and they do it super cheap (Sears, The Bay etc.)

A lot of stores measure their pants in width AND length. Shop there.

Plus, a lot of stores are simply known for making their clothes bigger, longer, tightter fitting etc. Just relax and give yourself time to shop around.

wtf seriously dont you people have jeans in long leg/ short leg

I know we do here in the states.

I dunno...I've found sizing to be pretty consistent over the years and I've been wearing the same size since high school.

The thing I don't like is that not enough companies make petite sizes. And that's not really about the size, it's about the tailoring. Makes a huge difference.

That's why I love places like Aeropostale, Gap, American Eagle...cause they all make "short" pants.

LOL Are you really a petite size!? With your ass I wouldn't call you petite. lol

Parasuco jeans are only sold by waist size not length. They are all like 36" long so they always have to be hemmed. Whenever I buy them I get the cute little old Korean lady at the cleaners to do them, and she does a seamless job (no pun intended), matching the thread colour so perfectly you can't tell it's been hemmed.

So factor in $10 each time you buy them.
