I think I will wait until after they get washed, then pin them up a half inch or so and see if I want to get them hemmed.  rachylou on "PPL?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-2#post-1483896 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:22:26 +0000 rachylou 1483896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The leg opening seems too small for me for easy slouch, and the lower leg not slim enough for scrunch, like Sveta says. I wouldn't do anything personally - it's good for a wee bit of funk look, esp. with the boots. Sveta on "PPL?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-2#post-1483698 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:18:52 +0000 Sveta 1483698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they need a bit shortening because the hem opening is not slim enough for scrunching. Try to pin it inch by inch, take pictures and compare.

I think just a little shaved off should do the trick.

But I wouldn't shorten them a whole lot. Maybe wash them first and see if they shrink a little before you hem them -- you might not even need to!

I think if you do have them hemmed that they would look awkward with your shoe choices. I say don't change anything. Elizabeth P on "PPL?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-2#post-1483309 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:21:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1483309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I realized this spring that one of the wardrobe holes I  have (yes, I know, by now I shouldn't have any holes between my many hills and mountains of clothes, but I do!) was a slim pair of black pants, spring weight.  And I use the term "spring" loosely... I'm talking sub 10 degrees, so not yet suitable to bare ankles.  I have yet to wear my ankle pants without boots.  Booties, oxfords, that type of footwear.  I've actually had a black pant hole for a while... work suitable pants that can be worn with flats or 1" heels.  My FFB ones died, and I replaced them with ones that need heels.  So some of my most comfortable shoes (which I like to take to conferences where I'm doing a lot of walking to meetings) haven't been worn much. So... to the point... I was thrilled to see the Sloan fit trousers this year.  Full length!!  Sloans fit me really well, so I waited for the next 40% off opportunity and ordered them. Thoughts on their length?  These are the footwear I want to wear them with.  Do they need shortening?  Wondering about a half inch or so.  But when I folded it, it felt short.  And how about tapering?  I feel it's bordering on too much fabric around the ankle, but I don't feel confident in this area.  So I come to you...  Thank you!
