At just under 5'1", I think I can safely say pants must not fit anyone.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

I just realized that Google Maps has at least two streets wrong in my neighborhood. Both of them are dead ends that the map shows continuing and intersecting other streets. I remember the GPS getting one of them wrong, too, when it said to keep going on a street that ended. Weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, thing is, your confinement thing? Makes me wanna hug you, hard and long. Be warned.
I want to be 5'9. How do we correct upwards?
Ginger--I might actually say "hash-Bookzilla." Just in case. But not "at TheOtherThing." That would be silly.

5'4" is the same problem as 5'8", isn't it, just on the other dividing line.
Nah, because you have too much fabric on one side, which can be hemmed easily, but you can't make fabric out of nothing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I solved the length problem by buying the "long" jeans and wearing 4" heeled boots. I'm 5'7".

But pants that are designed for taller people have problems besides the length. I've tried on plenty of pairs of pants where the waistband ended up somewhere around my bra band. Well-made petite pants also have a shorter rise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Vortex, I meant petite/regular v regular/long. Of course it doesn't help when brands don't sell longs.
ita, you know I love to hug you.

It's also build. I don't have big hips and have no rear, but really long legs for my height.

This is why I don't bother!

Because books.

But I don't want to be taller just for the pants!
