I have faced hems, too (with a similar fabric), and like that option (rather than just going with as narrow a hem as possible). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1717003 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 02:16:31 +0000 Karie 1717003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Firecracker. I was surprised when I got these and even with the long length, they're on the short side. There are different versions of the Ryan fit pants on the BR website, and some of them are shorter on the models than these are.</p> <p>There is a bigger hem in these than I thought, it's a 2 inch hem so I could make them up to 1.5 inches longer - I might try letting them down an inch and see how they look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716959 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 23:52:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1716959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, my initial impression is that these seem a little bit short for you for a full-length straight pant. I'd want the hem to come to the bottom of the heel (your actual heel, or where the heel seam is on the shoe). <br />That said, I have no idea whether that length is still in style. And I have a pair of pants the length of these on you, and I wear them anyway! And finally, these pants look like they are the length on you that they are on the model. So if you love the pants in every other way, I might keep them. I would probably wear them with lower-contrast booties, or oxfords or high-vamped loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716859 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 16:34:28 +0000 Karie 1716859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, straight cuts with a good fit are sooooo hard for me to find! Regular lengths can be too short and tall sizes are too big overall. Fortunately several manufacturers are making long lengths which usually work for me. I love flares/bootcuts, and wide legged pants and am hoping to add a pair or two to my fall/winter wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716846 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 15:59:49 +0000 unfrumped 1716846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pup photos!<br /> I'm interested in full- length pant styles for fall and winter, too. Crops and ankle pants are too chilly and harder to style and sometimes barely JFE.<br /> Straight cuts with a good fit are interesting to me, along with more styling ideas -- also am having a return to flare/bootcut, including NAS pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716836 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 15:37:11 +0000 Karie 1716836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie, I wasn't thinking about that - I did originally want to try the higher shaft booties with the new cropped pants from J Crew and the Gap twisted hem jeans, as well as some culottes I'm making. I am also hoping they'll work with sweater dresses this winter.</p> <p>In my Finds below are some lower shaft booties that I'm thinking of trying. I know they'll work with my sweater dresses and probably with these pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716816 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 14:30:19 +0000 Angie 1716816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only JUST saw the pic of Cosmo and Callie. <b>ADORABLE. </b>How can you not be&nbsp;<b></b>besotted<b></b>&nbsp;with them. Dogs are the best.&nbsp;</p> <p>The booties you have on your way to you look better with CROPS, Karie - just a reminder. And, you can add cushioning insoles if they're a bit wide.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716792 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 13:22:30 +0000 Karie 1716792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Suz and Cerinda, Cosmo and Callie do look like twins, don't they? They are actual brother and sister but from different litters - Cosmo is 4 years old and Callie is 15 months old</p> <p>Shiny, thanks for the info on shrinkage for BR denim. If I do keep these, I will be careful to wash them in cold water on the delicate cycle. There is a little room in the hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716729 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 06:49:54 +0000 Cerinda 1716729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since the Queen of PPL weighed in and you're all sorted, may I just squeal over those precious pups?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716680 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 03:45:01 +0000 shiny 1716680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you intend to machine wash them, do so before you make any decision on the length! I've had BR denim that shrunk quite a bit -- usually to good effect for short little me, I could avoid hemming!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716614 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 00:42:33 +0000 Karie 1716614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Suz, you enabler, you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716610 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 00:29:23 +0000 Suz 1716610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both, both, get both!! &nbsp; They can be twins like Cosmo and Callie!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716609 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 00:27:18 +0000 Karie 1716609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am currently shopping for booties - I got rid of several pairs at the end of last winter because they were getting too shabby. I posted pics above with the two pairs that remain. The ones in my finds below are on their way to me, I hope one (or both!) of them work out. </p> <p>Thank you, Angie, for the compliment on my hair - and it is a mess today! It's another at-home day, getting ready for MIL's big 80th bday party.</p> <p>Thanks Pil! Boston Buddy! I hope we get to meet up again one day soon.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716596 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 23:50:06 +0000 pil 1716596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, since Angie has you all sorted I just want to say that I am dazzled by the doggie cuteness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716568 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 22:13:55 +0000 Angie 1716568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the pants with booties. That's going to work better with the length. </p> <p>Tickle those cute little tummies for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716548 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 21:11:53 +0000 Karie 1716548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the Find, Angie. Cosmo and Callie don't know what to make of their mommy taking all these photos in their living room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716546 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 21:00:36 +0000 Angie 1716546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet, Karie. Can you supply the Find? I would like to see the intended length on the BR model. They are a very nice fit - just not sure about the length yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your shorter hair looks super cute - like the shoes too. I miss Cosmo and Callie.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-length-and-fit-of-pants#post-1716541 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:54:02 +0000 Karie 1716541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the BR Ryan fit denim pants in long length, 6L. I saw them in the regular length in the store but they were too short, so I ordered the long length to try at home. I liked them because they look more like dress pants than jeans and would be great for work.&nbsp;</p> <p>My questions:<br />These are a long length, are they still too short?&nbsp;<br />Do they look ill fitting? I know it's hard to tell with dark pants in photos. They feel fine, just right in the waist, they are a slim straight fit, not a skinny.</p> <p>You won't hurt my feelings if you say "Take them back! &nbsp;Run over to J Crew and get another pair of the Teddie pants! (Oh wait, I already did that!) Seriously, a full length pair of pants would be nice, but if these aren't it, that's OK. </p>
