Almost all of what I see looks European. We just happened to find a condo with Mexican architecture (built in 2009) &amp; more comfortable furniture that’s not ultra modern. Pic 2 shows “my chair,” lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2257092 Tue, 29 Mar 2022 03:20:23 +0000 ophelia 2257092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! Feet touching the floor! Instead of dangling like a child or getting a backache from sitting forward so you can put feet on floor.<br /> A meeting room at work has those giant brown office chairs from the 50’s, made for men but now used mostly by women. We all look somewhat ridiculous.<br /> I was going to mention that you might find better fitting furniture in Mexico, as Mexicans are generally shorter than Americans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2257077 Tue, 29 Mar 2022 00:33:17 +0000 Anonymous 2257077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ophelia: I hear you about furniture that fits! The condo we bought in Mexico came fully furnished, &amp; there are chairs in the living room that actually fit me. I can sit properly &amp; my legs touch the floor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2257060 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:21:27 +0000 ophelia 2257060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m 5’ 1 (&amp; 3/4 inch!) &amp; 29” inseams are my ideal. I’d buy 30” for wearing w/ heels, but that’s not been happening. I’ll settle for “28 since crops are trendy but I prefer “29.<br /> I could never figure out what people meant when they said to identify the shortest part of the body. All of me is short-although I’ve become suspect of my thighs. I mean can you find a chair that fits?? I’m looking for antique wood, as the chairs are smaller &amp; the backs are straight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2257026 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 18:21:22 +0000 Anonymous 2257026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering if my legs are slightly long for my height because the 28” inseam for petites is an inch too short if I wear any shoe with a heel. That inseam is only good if I wear flats. Anybody else with this issue? Sometimes petite pants come in 29” inseams. Those are the ones I buy. I have seen petite pants with 26” or 27” inseams, &amp; bypass them altogether. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256977 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 06:41:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 2256977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I just measured from the bottom of the pants to the floor: another 3.5 inches. Plus the earlier 25.5 inches that adds to 29, same as you. So we are the same height with same leg length. n=2, not a very big sample, but perhaps we are both regular length legs for our height? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256973 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 06:17:54 +0000 Anonymous 2256973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that your leg length is what it should be for your height. &nbsp;I am 5’3” and wear regular length bottoms Petites are too short. &nbsp;I amok with up to 31” inseams. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256967 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 03:57:04 +0000 rachylou 2256967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WikiHow says true leg length is measured from hip to ankle… this is complex! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256961 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 03:11:07 +0000 Anonymous 2256961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My inseam is 29 inches from crotch to floor.</p> <p>@Rachylou: .529 of my 61.5 in. height is my upper body, which is 32.5 in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256958 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 02:34:02 +0000 Jenni NZ 2256958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quinta you are the same height as me. I can check on myself but how did you measure?<br /> Inseam on my fave full-length pants (measured while on me, as I happen to be wearing them today, what a surprise-not!) is 65cm which on the other side of the tape measure is 25.5 inches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256956 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 02:21:15 +0000 rachylou 2256956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that your inseam? I had to google, and it said .529 of height was average. But I can’t find where they say how they measured the leg… inseam? Hip to floor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-about-leg-length#post-2256948 Mon, 28 Mar 2022 01:21:12 +0000 Anonymous 2256948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m trying to figure out if my legs are short or regular length. My height is 5 ft. 1.5 in. and my leg length is 29 in, </p>
