TU trousers

Wouldn’t be long enough for me at 5’11”, so I am limited on where I can shop, my daughter and granddaughter are tall as well.

Casdon I know I have shrunk over the last couple of years, but not that much. I was always 5'6", same as you.
I would love to think that I am Petite, but won't kid myself.
But, platforms of 4", wow!

As to the young women being taller, I haven't really noticed, but maybe they are.

OMG Casdon I am an inch shorter than you. It shows how long it is since I bought trousers because all of my life I have bought long, preferably 30 inches.

Surprisingly, here’s the answer *Auntieflo. Young women are taller.

It is frustrating though, M&S have done the same. I’m 5’6” which I don’t think is particularly short, but I’m now a petite in many trousers and jeans, I always try them on first these days.

Platform trainers are fashionable at the moment so maybe that is why the trousers are longer.
