Re: GIRLS: how long are your legs?
My inside leg is 34", I wear a size 6, or a 4 if I can find a decent pair of trousers/jeans. My waist is 23" but often I have to just go with W25" or W26" jeans because I can't find smaller in the weird sort of patterns I like to wear. Oh, and I'm 5'6 and still growing, unfortunately.
So yeah, I'm pretty skinny. And I get that stupid air bubble around my back too as my back goes in quite a bit further than my butt. Annoying. And it's really hard to find jeans that fit perfectly. Because they're either perfect around the waist, but too wide in the leg and make me look odd. Or they fit around my legs and butt properly, but not my waist.
I hate the crinkles that appear when I have to do up my belt as tight as possible, so I try and avoid that. Plus all the jeans I actually want to wear are WAY too short and too wide all round. Sadface. D: -

Re: GIRLS: how long are your legs?
How tall are you? - 5' Nothing.
How long are your legs? - I don't even know. Short enough to require taking/rolling up petite jeans. My torso isn't even long so I'm just short all over.
What size do you wear in jeans? Anything between an 8 and a 12, depending on which shops accommodate for my hefty bum/thighs (and inevitably end up with a big ol gap round the back). -
Re: GIRLS: how long are your legs?You normally measure from the top of the inside leg to the floor since they're both well defined point, also means you can then measure a pair of trousers without thinking about how high the waist is.(Original post by Miu-Miu)
do you guys reckon she's measuring in the wrong way? do you measure from the inside or the outside?
try Uniqlo. I used to get that gappy air bubble at the knees despite it fitting snugly everywhere else so I just buy my jeans there and tell them to alter it.
I'm around 30/31" and don't have any issues.

So for my height I have quite long legs.
