RooA Nov 2022 4:28pm, 5 Nov 2022 2,019 posts	0 RooA Annoyingly alpkit also not a good fit for me. Slightly too loose on the waist, might have been OK but felt in danger of sliding down, but really cutting in to my calves at the hem which made them a "no". I need just below the knee length and high, slim waisted but generous over the bum and thigh type fit. Any ideas? I'm looking and trying to replace like for like with Ron Hills but even they look to be trying towards mid calf length now rather than sitting above the calf muscle as my current, very old, pair do.

geordiegirl Nov 2022 4:34pm, 5 Nov 2022 19,081 posts	0 geordiegirl Don’t know if you’ve tried flanci for fit but if you have and they are ok you can customise your leg length and they don’t charge for this amendment. They may even be able to do other tweaks just message at info@flanci.co.uk

Raemond Nov 2022 6:14pm, 5 Nov 2022 9,734 posts	0 Raemond Grrrl haven't got any capris in stock at the moment, or I'd suggest those. The Jamaican shorts are exactly on knee length for me, or the 7/8s are ankle length (I'm 167cm, for reference). 'next level' styles are tighter at the waist, though as a pretty hourglassy person I've never had an issue with the other styles feeling loose, and they all accommodate my pit pony thighs and ass comfortably. There's an extra discount code 'birthdaygrrrl' for 35% off this weekend, or my ambassador code in the thread description will get you 20% off at any other time.
RooA Nov 2022 2:32pm, 6 Nov 2022 2,023 posts	0 RooA Think I'm going to try Flanci, cheap ones from the sale first, then contact them about length... Any size advice appreciated. Website says to size up but I think you lot said to size down?
