PPL is perfect pant length. Basically for wide leg pants the back hem should be almost grazing the floor. I like these pants as is but it basically means I am confined to wearing them with 4" heels only. I do look nice and tall though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584118 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:43:59 +0000 catgirl 584118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look just a titch long, but I tend to err on the short side of PPL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584113 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:42:08 +0000 Angie 584113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe just a little shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584095 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:26:17 +0000 DonnaF 584095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They definitely aren't touching. Do they have belt loops so you can wear a belt if you are -2 lb.? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584086 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:03:25 +0000 raclar 584086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good as is... I vote no hemming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584045 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:53:53 +0000 Anonymous 584045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure. They look good in #3 and #2, but a super tiny bit long in #1. I see you are not sure if they are touching the floor. That's how I know. Basically, I don't want to see any heel at all from the back.<br /> I think it is splitting hairs at this point. I vote leave as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584042 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:52:05 +0000 ManidipaM 584042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PPL! Looks very good, in fact, Rita. Unless you're tripping, in which case address just the bit you're tripping on, like Joy said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584030 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:34:56 +0000 citygirldc 584030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length looks fine with me. Leave them the way they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584005 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:37:16 +0000 Meghan R 584005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new here -- what does PPL mean? The length looks good -- if you wear them out and feel like you're tripping over the hems, then you can shorten them. But I agree with Janet -- my tailor always seem to make my pants just a little too short. It's safer to keep them as is, especially if you're talking about a tiny amount. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-584002 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:33:29 +0000 Anonymous 584002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, PPL. If you are stepping on the back, maybe just have the back of the hem raised a fraction of an inch. A half inch sounds like too much unless the pants stretch out during the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583998 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:25:17 +0000 celia 583998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look ppl to me.<br /> See how it goes next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583983 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:10:45 +0000 Emily 583983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look right to me, but it is really hard to tell if they are touching the floor or just above. I think 1/2" off would be too much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583982 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:09:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 583982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like PPL to me Rita! Gorgeous pants - the drape on you is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583979 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:07:51 +0000 Jjsloane 583979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my strong suit (PPL), but they look good with the heels here. I've only just brought in my first ever pants to hem so I have very little experience. I like your idea of a work test run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583976 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:58:35 +0000 Jilly 583976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay ppl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583974 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:57:34 +0000 modgrl 583974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet these are the rack pants we got together. I am torn. I'll wear them to work next week and see how the hem fares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583971 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:55:46 +0000 Janet 583971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell precisely, but I'd err on the side of leaving them alone. </p> <p>I think my tailor takes off just a little more than I ask her to. Grrrr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583968 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:49:27 +0000 modgrl 583968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell either depends on +/-2 lbs, I guess. I'm leaning towards leaving them alone for now.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583966 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:46:47 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 583966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually go by whether they are actually touching the floor or just a bit above. I don't want my pants dragging on the ground and getting frayed. I can't tell from the pic if they are touching or just close but that is how I would decide.</p> <p>They look really nice on you and I like the striped tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pants#post-583965 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:46:26 +0000 Sona 583965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ppl. lta.
