I am petite height (4’11”) and all length leggings are too long. Yes even the 23” and when they get hemmed they are too big around my ankle as they are meant to be at someone’s calves. Has anyone had a non Lulu seamstress take in the ankle a bit in this situation? Not sure if it would gap or fit weird if I tried this.
Picture for reference this is me loosely holding the ankle not pulling at all.
They tapered them starting a few inches above the hem, and then attached the extra fabric at the bottom so nothing gets cut or removed and it is reversible. They matched the thread color and used a stretchy stitch so it’s really hard to tell any changes were made. Just be careful putting them on and removing because I have ripped one open before 🥲 but I highly recommend it for all the shorties with a favorite pair of leggings that don’t fit at the ankles
