I can't find the tape measure and I want to order some trousers! I'm 5ft 7" so what would my inside leg measurement be?

It depends on whether you have long legs and a short body or vice versa, or if you are in proportion !

I'm also 5'7" but I have long-ish legs. My IL is 32". I think Cod is also 5'7" with a 32" IL (weird the things you remember)

Oh, it doesn't give me 32" as a choice, just 31" or 33"!

Which one shall I go for? I don't wear high heels very much so I don't want them dragging under my shoes getting all scuffed, but I don't want them cutting off at the top of my socks either!

Oooh, that's a lot of hard work! I'll just opt for the 31" I think, most trousers are longer than that for high heels, I have some that do drag on the floor and I think they are meant to be average!

I am 5ft 2in and 31 inches would be long on me, 30 inches perfect. My short part is my body so legs longish.

My OH is a smidgen short of 6ft and has very short legs. He wears 32 inch trousers.

How are you up there in the Lakes?

We just moved up from SW (Maubourguet) to the Charente and loving it.
