Need longer length pjs?

Just a quick tip - being 5ft 10 it's hard to find proper length pj bottoms. Went to ASDA today and in moment of inspiration rooted in mens dept. Got a pair of pj bottoms with blue stars on for £6, and they are perfect!
For idea of fit, I'm a size 16 bottom, 34 inside leg and I bought the medium
HTH:D

    I have an alternative plan, i am 4 foot 10, if anyone with a long length wants the bottom of my trousers so they can stitch them to the bottom of there trousers they are more than welcome. :), i also have a little spare fat if anyone wants some of that :D
  • lol! I always say at least you can take up short trousers..... I just have ankle swingers!!

    Thanks for that Brighthair ;)
    I'm only 5' 8" but have trouble finding trousers etc that are long enough and often buy mens trousers. Not only are they longer in the leg but also come up to my waist unlike most of the womens trousers that show half my @rse :o
    Errrr...come back later ;)

    The only pair of PJs I have that actually reach my feet are a pair I bought in Walmart in Colorado. They are Spongebob ones and I think they are supposed to be mens. They've been washed about twice a week and often tumble dried for the last 18 months. I have several pairs from various UK stores and they all come mid calf :mad:

    I don't know why I never thought of buying mens over here. DOH!!!:rotfl:

    I'm 5'7" and need a 34" jeans. And that's not easy either. New Look are good, and George "long" sometimes. Select are good too, and good value, my (shorter) friend always moans cos their standard jeans drag on the floor on her 5'3" frame!
  • Thanks for this, I might have a look when I go later. I've curently got some M&S 'long' in a size 8 but they are still too short and I'm only 5'7". I've recently got some long length jeans from George though and they fit perfect.
  • I'm 5'9 & i purchased some pj's in Primark last week.. they're a jade type green with a small pink floral pattern, really nice - and really long, they cover my whole foot i have to pull them right up to stop them dragging along the floor :D Bargain for £4.50!

    Oooh, if you want 34" jeans, Primark do them! Pretty much as standard, but their longs are 34"

    Thank you for this tip. My eldest wears all her Pjs at half mast because it costs so much money to buy from Long Tall Sally or similar. She will be thrilled to have a budget solution next time we buy.
