I just measured both Gap pairs and they are the same length and at least 1" shy of 34" length posted on the site.<br /> Jonesy, my intent was to get trousers or bootcuts because they are more generously cut in the thigh and then ask my mom to make them into straight leg if possible: that's why I thought 34" should work for me.<br /> Jjsloane, I just checked EB site: straight and bootcut models are sold out in tall in my size :-(<br /> Sarah,JCrew is next for me to try if Express trousers are a bust too. I don't want to order too many jeans with international shipping at the same time...</p> <p>You see, it is not just length I find hard to find, it is also fit. I was in Tall Girl store last weekend and tried on their white jeans. The length was good (of course) but they just did not fit me well - I cannot even explain why, they just did not sing to me. I don't just want PPL white jeans or trousers, I want PPL white jeans or trousers which fit me perfectly and flattering. It is a tall order, I know but blame Angie for installing PPP principle into my brain!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-634023 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:08:29 +0000 sarah 634023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I'm so sorry. Have you tried jCrew? They have white bootcuts in tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-634011 Thu, 31 May 2012 23:49:55 +0000 Jjsloane 634011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed for you. It can be so frustrating especially the wait, the anticipation and the disappointment. </p> <p>Just thought of Eddie Bauer who also does tall sizes? If they ship to you they have 2 styles of tall white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633972 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:28:09 +0000 Jonesy 633972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a sad situation, Sveta! I am totally with you :). I wonder about straightlegs...then you wouldn't have to worry so much about length, since they wouldn't need to go with heels? Sometimes I can get away with regular length pants or jeans if they are straights or skinnies, vs. the bootcut PPL situation (though I think your inseam is longer than mine).</p> <p>Hang in there--it's not you, it's the pants!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633936 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:59:14 +0000 san 633936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta do you think that the first pair may have been previously hemmed? I have run across that in online shopping. You might order another pair just like those and see if they are longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633727 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:53:54 +0000 Anonymous 633727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let me see f I have a chance to pass by gap today...

I have 2 pair that I bought a couple of years ago (still holding up nicely) and both were quite long for me (maybe a 34 when I needed more like 30). I had mine hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633680 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:07:18 +0000 Meredith1953 633680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta,<br /> Are you also looking at white trousers in general? Maybe they have some that are in longer lengths? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633665 Thu, 31 May 2012 16:52:28 +0000 Sveta 633665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Zap, you are too sweet! I can try to size up in Gap curvy and see if I like the fit - if yes I may risk to order tall from US. Do you know if regular and tall fit the same except for the length?<br /> Janet, thank you! I am afraid I have to forget about paige in white. I tried Hidden Hills straight in white and they were too tight in size 32, I would need to size up but they do not make sizes over 32 (at least i have never seen them).<br /> I will wait for the express trousers and if they are bust as well I will try CJ from Zappos...<br /> MTB, that is frustrating to find out they do not fit anymore. I had the same unpleasant surprise with my first pair of skinnies I bought 2 years ago - now they live in my mom's closet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633451 Thu, 31 May 2012 13:04:21 +0000 morethanbeige 633451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sveta, I empathize! Not with the length issue, but with white pants in general. I went through the white jean exercise last season and thought I had found *the pair*, but this season they seem to have the dreaded crotch wrinkles and also seem tight and I feel self conscious. I asked hubby about them and he said "didn't we already go through this?". Well, yes, but... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633425 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:19:52 +0000 Janet 633425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, just chiming in to say I sympathize! I have a hard time finding pants long enough and I'm not even very tall! </p> <p>I have been searching online for some Paige Hidden Hills in white because I think they might work for you, but it seems they're all but gone (I found one lonely pair of size 24s). If I see anything promising, I'll let you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633414 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:26:43 +0000 Anonymous 633414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regulars are not going to fit us, Sveta. They have the ones you have on in a 36 inch inseam, in the US site. Are you able to order online from the US site? If not, I can order and ship for you. Let me know if you want my help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633412 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:24:39 +0000 Sveta 633412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>devon7 - thanks. I will wait for Express trousers first in hope they fit.<br /> Zap, these are Gap Curvy bootcuts in regular: they do not carry tall sizes in Canada :-(<br /> Sexy boot is cut too slim in the thigh for me and too low rise.<br /> dianthus - thanks, I will try to think good thoughts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633404 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:15:09 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 633404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap sizes and lengths are horribly inconsistent. I ordered a pair online that I already had and they felt a whole size out. I also have L and R in the same style and they are the same length.</p> <p>Sveta, pants are a challenge and white ones are the worst. Try not to get discouraged. When you find the right pair, it will be worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-white-jeasn-again#post-633400 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:01:23 +0000 Anonymous 633400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the GAPs a tall, i.e. 36" - 37" inseam? 34" is regular.<br /> These sexy boots have a 37 inch inseam, for tall sizes.

I am very tall, too, and was thinking of ordering these pants from Anthropologie: </p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-pants/24113607.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....113607.jsp</a> </p> <p>The inseam is 33.5" but the hem looks to be at least 2 inches. My plan was to buy them and taken the hem down. </p> <p>I don't know if you have Anthropologie in Canada or if they ship there, but these pants could work. I will let you know if I see something else! I feel your pain about pants/jeans for talls!

Well, they arrived today and they are a bust as I expected (I am quickly becoming a pessimist where white jeans are concerned)<br /> Anyway you can judge for yourself...<br /> pic 1-2 Gap curvy<br /> First of all they are too short even for flats. Website says 34" but it is a lie, I think they are under 33" in length. See how much shorter they are than BR (pic 3-4) which are also listed as 34". In addition they are too tight - and I sized up one size.<br /> pic 3-4 BR denim trousers<br /> The length is OK with flats but the fit is not. I don't think they are tight (I sized up one size) but these crotch wrinkles are definitely should not be there, right? I cannot size up more because this is the biggest size they come in.<br /> Back they go tomorrow. I am still expecting white Express trousers but my hopes are slim... Maybe white jeans and trousers and I are just not meant to be together? :-(<br /> Thanks for letting me vent - I feel better already! </p>
