My own leather pants length question

I got my Vince's back yesterday. When we went in she said they should be to where they would just touch the floor if barefoot. Now I'm questioning that. When I look at my before pics with them rolled (pic 2), they are a bit shorter. Am I just freaking out? Or is there too much scrunch? Argh.
At least the waist take in was a total success! yay.

I know nothing but still think these look perfect. Can't wait to see how others weigh in so I know if I'm totally off the mark. I have a pair of black waxed denim jeans that I need to have hemmed. I also think they need a bit more taper. Can I ask you what the ankle opening is on your leather pants? Thanks!

Now that they're hemmed it's about 11". I think they started out at 10".

Since these are a real skinny, clingy fit I like them at that length. I think they look perfect.

They look fantastic, Mo. What a superb addition to you wardrobe!! No matter what the BF says.

PS -- how did the bootie hunt go?

Whoa those are serious pants. I love them. Alot. I think they look fine. You could roll them under once to see which you prefer; I'm sure it would be an easy fix. Since they are leather they would probably scrunch in some way shape or form anyway, so maybe just let it be for now.

Aw, thanks Suz! And I can always hem again in the future, if they stretch out or whatever. The model has them scrunched in the pic where I bought them.http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Vi.....061z617640
The hunt went well, in that I could narrow down some contenders. The closest to the Lucky's were some Franco Sartos that were fab! But too high. Convinced to try the Lucky's. Next credit card cycle LOL - end of the week

Mo, These seem so perfect for your style and the fit looks great! I'm really happy for you and I hope you enjoy these pants so much.

BTW, I know nothing about PPP but length looks good to me.
Maybe Angie will weigh in about the PPP.

I think they look perfect. You can always alter them later if they bother you, but I would leave them for now.

These are really gorgeous pants!

Mo, I do this too. I had some maxi skirts hemmed, and when I got them home I freaked out, thinking that I hadn't had them hemmed enough. But I decided to just wear them and see how it went. Now I think they're fine for the most part...I'm still experimenting with different footwear and different positions for the waistband. But the "freaked-out" phase is past and I can view things more objectively. Just give yourself some time to get used to the pants, see how they work with all kinds of different footwear, and go from there. No rush. :^)

They don't look too scrunchy to me, but I suppose you already knew that now that Queen Pedantic has weighed in...

I think they are perfect - and look much better on you than on the model.

Holy buckets Mo! You look like a million bucks. Don't change a thing. The waist alteration looks perfect and so does the scrunch. You look like a Hollywood A-lister in those.

Aw, you ladies are too kind! And Angie, you definitely put my mind at ease.
Now I can't wait to wear my oversized BCBG sweater with them when I get home for a visit in a few weeks.

KILLER! Perfect length!!!!

If anyone is interested in low-budget version, my DD scooped up a pair of pleather pants at H&M this weekend. They have ribbing all down the side, so they have a lot of stretch too.
