Are You Long-Waisted or Short-Waisted?
I'm confused. I can never find pants that fit me correctly. They are always at least 2 inches too long from the crotch to the waist. Am I long waisted or short waisted, and where can I find pants that might be a better fit?
To determine if you're long-waisted or short-waisted, measure yourself from the top of your head to your natural waist, and then from your natural waist to the floor (you'll probably need to enlist help to get an accurate measurement).
If you're longer from head to waist than from waist to floor, you're long-waisted, and if the opposite is true, then you're short-waisted. It sounds to me like you're long-waisted, but it's hard to tell without knowing the measurements and what type of pants you've been looking at.
As far as pants that fit you correctly, I have found bebe makes pants that fit long-waisted women (they sure don't fit me!) :) and Banana Republic makes a couple of different cuts, so you could probably find one of their styles that fits you well.
