I don't have any advice on the pant issue but wanted to say hi from another New Mexican. I"m 5'6" and have problems finding long enough pants so I can understand how much problems you must have being a few inches taller than me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867814 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:35:20 +0000 Sheri Lynne 867814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The VS are 10-1/2" front and 15" back. It's about the same for Long Elegant Legs. As you know most long leg designs are for long torso's and I'm not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867802 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:17:15 +0000 Suz 867802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you measured the rise of the pants that end up at your waist? Maybe that would be a good starting point. Let us know what the front and back rise are on the ones that are not working and maybe we can suggest brands that will suit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867796 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:08:42 +0000 Sheri Lynne 867796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Beth Ann,<br /> I'm not the best on my computer either. I shop the web because I live in New Mexico where according to a survey there are not many tall people so no stores stock much. I bought from Victoria's Secret (Hipsters ((at my waist))) Macy's, Long Leg Stores, Old Navy, etc. I'm going to Florida for a week + I'd like to have some new clothes period but sending stuff back is frustrating. Any ideas?? I leave in for weeks and New Mexico is going to have nice weather again. I bought some casual nice dresses but don't want to wear them all of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867609 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:57:51 +0000 Beth Ann 867609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a lower rise is in order! Where do you usually shop for pants?</p> <p>Welcome to the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867439 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:47:26 +0000 Suz 867439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Sheri!! So sorry to hear you are having trouser fit problems. But rest assured, you are not alone. It seems to be one of the challenges for most women! </p> <p>We can probably help you better if we see pics to help identify your body type. You can either link to a photo sharing site or you can post enough times to become an "active member" and then you will be able to post photos directly to the site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-more-than-mens-501s-and-shirts#post-867379 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:05:50 +0000 Sheri Lynne 867379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br /> I want to get some Spring/Summer clothes and don't have a lot of money. I am very wide-waisted (no space between ribs and hip bone) so I'm 41-35-39. Most women's clothes are too hippy and there is too much of a gap at the back of my waist. Pants seem to be for long torso's and I'm long legged. I'm 5'9" 145#'s like to dress "sassy" and with color. Most pants that come to my waist hang down in the crotch area. (Any better name for that?) I bought some Hipsters that come to my waist. Advice? I look awful in the few capris that I tried too and my legs are skinny.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Sheri </p>
