Anyone found a good place to buy extra long trousers? I buy M&S long but DD is taller than me and bean pole shaped so they're too short for her.

Cotton Traders have 3 lengths: I have 27" - have a look-C at the catalogue on line.

One can't fit on in shops ? so the phaff of having to bring clothing home, try on and return - a no-no as I live 15 miles from any main town in any direction

I struggle as well, have long legs & short body and there's hardly anywhere you can by long length in a size 6 for some reason long length starts with a size 8 or 10! Annoys the hell out of me why can't slim people have long legs!!

You can send things back via the Post Office.

Sometimes the returns paper work is so involved it puts me off 
We have 'Hermes' too .........

I looked at my 3 pairs of jeans this morning

  I also have long legs and a shorter body and need a 31 leg length usually. Need to try them on in stores. I never buy clothes online. Similar problems with shoe sizes being inconsistent. I usually need an 8/42.

I need short or extra short, give me your address and I can send you the bits I cut off

Thanks for the suggestions, she should be able to find something she likes.
I have a better idea two hoots - I'll saw four inches off her legs and you can stick them on to yours then you can both buy 'normal' trousers 

[Two hoots]

Of yes please, I’ll be able to reach the top shelves In shops then Sheila

Long Tall Sally has been suggested, but they are unfortunately about to cease trading (end of this month). I always used to buy trousers from them (am 6 feet tall, with a 34/35 inside leg) but don't know what I'll do now...

Next have a tall section.

It’s so difficult when you are a minority size. I have 71/2-8 AA feet. I have to buy online and shoes are very expensive. I have some expensive mistakes, which seemed ok, until I’ve worn them a bit and then it’s too late to send back.  My boobs are an awkward size too. I’m slim, but have an E cup. They don’t look over large, but trying to get a bra that fits is difficult and usually lacy. I’d love a plain t-shirt bra, but they don’t fit. Next life, I'm coming back average in size, if not in other respects!
