I like 1 most of the 3 options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200300 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 06:18:57 +0000 Jessikams 2200300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know why so many wide crops have elastic in the back of the waist! On me it usually results in a very unfortunate butt effect! </p> <p>I recently tried to hem some wide linen shorts myself, and found it pretty tricky because there was just so much fabric flopping around! In the end I used Stitch Witchery as a shortcut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200271 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 01:55:20 +0000 Jaime 2200271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200242 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 00:05:14 +0000 Aquamarine 2200242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I like both. Agree that because of the color the cuff is not that noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200213 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 21:56:13 +0000 rachylou 2200213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another for 2 - and I also like 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200208 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 21:23:38 +0000 Tanya 2200208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you do much, Angie. Length on photo #2 it is then. I suspected you might like #1 as well, however I strongly dislike that length on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200158 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 18:16:33 +0000 Angie 2200158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER pants! LOVE THIS LOOK.</p> <p>Another vote for #2, although I like #1 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200148 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 17:35:21 +0000 Tanya 2200148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your input! It is a completely unanimous response, for length in #2, so that is what will be done. Iam leaning towards keeping the cuff, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200092 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 14:56:52 +0000 slim cat 2200092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 - the length is perfect for any shoes and looks good proportionally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200088 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 14:53:37 +0000 JAileen 2200088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200084 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 14:43:55 +0000 DonnaF 2200084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200076 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 14:06:12 +0000 Irina 2200076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants!

I like keeping a bit of a cuff. I agree that it can be leg shortening, but here, because it's black, it's subtle and just adds a bit of crisp polish, which i like and which seems to suit your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200065 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 13:40:21 +0000 Anonymous 2200065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great looking crops on you. I like the second and third lengths equally. Whatever is easiest, so they get worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200064 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 13:36:47 +0000 Star (Lise) 2200064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 2 for sure</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200061 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 13:30:02 +0000 Anonymous 2200061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length 2 and if possible no cuff although they might need a wide hem to provide enough weight.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200056 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 13:15:53 +0000 Janet 2200056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length in 2 the best.

That also seems to be about where it hits the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-hem-wide-linen-crops#post-2200043 Thu, 03 Jun 2021 12:40:54 +0000 Tanya 2200043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another day, another hemming question from me ( I have enough of these to keep me busy the whole summer ).</p> <p>Earlier in the season I decided that a pair of black linen/linen blend wide leg crops would be really useful, as it would work both for my casual "shorts alternative" bottoms capsule, as well as for office once we are allowed back.&nbsp; &nbsp;My requirements were slimmer wide legs if possible, no pleats, and most importantly, real, structured waistband ( no elastics, drawstrings, etc.).&nbsp; Basically, I wanted the first pair in the Finds, from Club Monaco,&nbsp; which sadly does not come in black. You would be surprised how hard this was to find, with the waistband requirement being the most difficult one! I have searched for a while and almost gave up before I stumbled on this pair from Frame, presumably from last season.</p> <p>The pants have a wide cuff, 5" long, for which I normally do not care because of leg shortening effects, but do not mind that much here because it is not too noticeable.&nbsp; The pants as they are ( #1) are too long for me, as it always happens, so they need hemming.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have two options: either shorten the cuff to about half of it's height (&nbsp; #2) or have it completely removed (#3).&nbsp; &nbsp; Which one do you prefer?&nbsp; (They are folded under in the photos so please excuse the messy hem appearance). </p>
