Pants and Jeans Inseams

beach-mom — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 03:48:24 GMT

I am 5'3". But I am long legged. I USED to be able to find 30" inseams here with some brands, like Belle and D&C.

I haven't been able to buy pants or jeans here in a while. A 29" inseam is too short, and 31" is too long.

I understand I can't "choose" my own inseam, and I don't expect to, but since QVC once had this length available at one time it would be great if at least ONE brand offered it!

@beach-mom I watched the SG show this evening and there was one pair of pants presented I remember her saying the regular was a 30" inseam. I think the petite was 27". For me, it kinda depends on the style of pant, as in how close does the crotch fit and whether I plan to wear with heels or flats. I'm 5'2" and I can wear 28" - 31" depending.

Thanks @Icegoddess! It's nice to know they're still out there. The one thing I don't do is wear heels with pants or jeans. Even my boots and shooties have lower heels.

@beach-mom. I'm 5' 4" with short legs and have the opposite problem. I buy petites but most are way too long. Perfect for me is a 27" inseam and they rarely happen.

Almost everywhere I shop carries 30" inseam jeans. I know because they are too long for me. I try to find petites but there aren't as many of those around anymore.

Shop around. You'll likely find jeans you like are 30", good quality, and less expensive than Q.

Playing the inseam, rise and heel height game is crazy making. Until I retired, heel height was the usual solution.

Muc Luxs carry a 29 ,and Rene used to, can't find anyone else. But most hosts won't tell you the length anyhow, which is the only thing I want to know before I;m interested in even looking. Length is a secret on the Q, figure you'll get them altered.

@Kachina624 same here , although I'm 5'2" I'm all legs . Still 28 -29 are too long unless wearing a high heel , which I don't want to do all the time . I prefer 26" -27". Very hard to find any longer here . Usually it's 29

26"/27" works for me but for some reason QVC keeps offering 28"and above for Petites. I wouldn't call that the majority for Petites. Like I have mentioned before the Denim and Co. Original Pant had a 27" Inseam for Petites and that particular pant that they bragged about selling 5 or 6 Million Pairs. That has to tell them something. Well, that original manufacturer of the Original Pant no longer makes them. The manufacturer who makes them now doesn't compare to the Original manufacturer. They are longer for Petites and bigger legs. I have tried more than once and not good for me. What a big disappoint. Price much higher like everything else in our country.

I feel your pain, @beach-mom I am also 5'3 and my legs are longer than my torso. A 30" inseam fits me perfectly. I don't want any more ankle or cropped jeans.
A while ago, I bought A388183: D &C Regular Cozy Touch Denim Full-Length Straight Jeans. They do have a 30" inseam, but no button or zipper. You just pull them on. I find them to be very comfortable.
Good luck with your search 👖

Thanks @Lisa Y! I will definitely check these out!

I guess I've been noticing the TSV's lately that haven't been an option for me. I like the ones you mentioned, but I have to see what I really need!

While I'm here.........

1 and 1/4 inch length difference between Petite and Regular pant seams and tops, shirts, etc. isn't enough of a difference in lengths.

1 and 1/4 and 1 and 1/2 inch difference must be a nightmare for manufacturers to sew.

I always ask 'Why bother'.

Well, on a much more positive note, Have a nice week.

I am 5'6" but my legs are short. There are basically no pants offered on QVC that have my preferred inseam of 291/2" to 30".

I never wear heels. Petite length of 28" looks bad, regular length drags on the ground. PLEASE QVC, OFFER 30" INSEAMS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WEAR HIGH HEELS WITH PANTS! GARY, ARE YOU LISTENING?

I'm 70 and have very rarely found jeans/pants that were the right length. It's just life. I found a tailor that will do a very nice job for $13.

I see a lot of 30" inseams in a lot of stores and online. It pays to shop around.

The only places I have ever found jeans or pants my length are at Lands End, LLBean, and a couple of brands at Kohl's and Macy's.

Thanks @Imaoldhippie! I don't have a personal Facebook account. I was just venting! I do see a lot of suggestions here that will help.

I know this post is a few months old, but I can relate to the inseam issues. I just went to order a pair of Denim and Co baby boot cut jeans and the regulars are 31.5 and the petites are 28.5. Where's the 29"or 30" jeans?? I'm 5'3 1/2 but I guess more long legged and petites are always too short. Very frustrating, and it's not just QVC.
