Now that "summer" has officially started early with the hot temperature (90s) and lots of humidity, I have been wanting to sew some summer pants. I had a bunch of pants patterns in my hand...wondering what length to make? Since I can't go by what the pattern suggests on the back envelope (yes, I am only 5 feet tall), I decided to thumb through my latest Talbots' catalog. Why Talbots'...you asked? Because Talbots' includes some finished garment length measurements with most of their outfits. I know I can go into their store and pull a size 6 Petite pair of pants off their rack and the length would fit me 85% of the time. Yes, I do love to window shop. lol!
So, here's what I have come up with for my personal preference on pants inseam length (give or take a 1/2 inch):
Long - 27-1/2"
Ankle - 26"
Cropped - 22"
Capris - 19"
Pedal pushers - 14"
Bermudas - 11"
As I start sewing and completing my pants, I will keep this updated.
