Short girls.... How much do you pay
to get your pants hemmed?
My tailor just went up to $14.
I think I am going to try this iron on stuff.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
I know how to do it myself by hand, but it is a PITA.
I want to learn to do it on the machine.

I just buy petite!
Where?? I am looking for pants and even the petites are too long  I am 5'3, it shouldn't be that hard to find petite pants that are at least close in length but I am striking out all over right now.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
I am 5'2 1/2" and find petites too short.
I like buying pants at Old Navy and NY and Co because they come in different lengths.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
they have petite sizes (short) in NY & company and express.
I found a great place to buy jeans here in miami, and they fixed them for free!

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
Mine is between 10 and 15, depending on the type of pants.
I do try to buy petite as much as possible because it's not just the length, they're cut differently - maybe slimmer or something? I don't know but they just over all fit me better.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
I'm so lazy. I just walk around in pants that are too long and tell myself that the look is "in" right now.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
Have you tried those express tailors around Ludlow Street and Rivington Street in Manhattan? They are very inexpensive - around $4-5 for basic hemming. They are good for basic hemming and shortening of things. I would not use them for anything intricate or complicated, though.

this is my problem - I think my legs are unusually short...LOL
But I was looking at Eddie Bauers petites and they are 29 1/2 long!!! My 6'6" DH wears 34 - 36"! It just doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Short girls.... How much do you pay
I am SO lazy. I just wear skirts!
I buy petite if I can find them but I am 5'4", so I am on the borderline, but I have short legs. I usually have to buy a size bigger in petites & they are are hard to find.
I bought a pair of pants I love in Filene's that are not petite & I didn't around to getting them hemmed, so I used that hem tape, but not the iron on kind. It was okay for a day, but I think I have to get them done. Wow $10-$15 is a lot.
DH can fix a hem, maybe he can make a new one.
