[Two hoots]

Im 5ft tall and if I saw you JuJu I would think how lovely to be tall and slim, I thought it was us shorties that had problems.  Almost all my trousers are turned up, sleeves on jumpers are way too long and hoods on coats reach over my head and I can tuck them under my chin on some coats  M & S have a petite section, it has in total 33 items

That’s not good. I’m lucky that I can buy the long length trousers from M&S. Even better now they sell high rise trousers, so they don’t slide down onto my old op scars and hurt. I have narrow hips. I used to have problems with getting long trousers, then platform shoes became fashionable!

Hi Juju - I'm a similar build, size 10/12, just short of 6ft tall with really long arms and legs and HH boobs (32"chest).  I would strongly recommend bravissimo - brilliant company who can fit you in shop but also a good online store, for DD and upwards only.  Would recommend an in store fitting as, with everything, the same size in various brands are completely different.
For long leg jeans (34-36") I always buy TopMan mens super spray on skinny jeans, they fit pretty well and aren't super expensive.

I've given up on mens jeans because the spare material round the waist is a pain. I do buy mens t shirts and sweatshirts as they're a better shape for me, longer and narrower. It's annoying that mens trousers come in different measured leg lengths but they assume all women are short and fat, even 'long' or 'short' rarely have a measurement.
Interesting Next have a taller womens section. I haven't been there for years since they closed my local one. They were the worst for children's clothes, they seemed to be made for kids as wide as they were tall.

I’m not so tall. 5’7”. Tall enough to be asked to get things off the higher shelves in the supermarket though! I’m a 12 top and 10 bottom. I did go to bravissimo, but they kept trying to get me in a 32” bra instead of 34” in order to get the right cup size . As I’m rather partial to breathing, this doesn’t do. However, there are certain Fantazie styles that fit my shape, so I’m ok.

How did we get from trousers to bras  ......... apparently 85% of ladies wear the incorrect size of the latter ;-)

I keep forgetting to order from Cotton Traders  - another tear in the knee today reminded me, now I can't find the Order Form  .
