What is length size 36?

Length size 36 refers to the inseam length of a pair of trousers and is based on inches. L36 means an inseam length of approximately 36 inches, or about 91 cm. This is the distance from the crotch to the bottom of the leg. Please note: the exact inseam length may vary slightly per model due to fit, wash, and finish. At Longlady, the measured inseam length is stated for each item, allowing you to make a targeted choice. More background information and measuring tips can be found in What is my length size?.

How to accurately measure your inseam

To measure is to know. Use a tape measure and choose a well-fitting long pair of trousers as a reference, or measure directly on your body.

1. Straighten your trousers: lay a pair of trousers that are a good length flat on a table. Smooth the leg without pulling.
2. Measure from the crotch: place the zero of the tape measure exactly at the crotch seam and measure straight down to the bottom of the leg. Note the centimeters.
3. Measure on your body: stand upright with bare feet. Measure the distance of your inner leg, from the highest point in the crotch to the instep where you want the leg to end.
4. Consider shoes and shrinkage: do you often wear sneakers or heels? Do you want the trousers to fall just above or on the shoe? Add 1-2 cm for wider legs or if the fabric might shrink slightly.

Tip: compare your result with the measured inseam length on the product page. This way, you can be sure that L36 - approximately 91 cm - fits your desired fall height.

Combining waist and hip size with your length size

Women's trousers are often indicated in a W/L size, for example W28 L36. W stands for your waist size in inches, L for the inseam length. So, combine your measured waist and hip circumference with the correct L-size for the length. Do you wear ready-to-wear size 36 or 38? That says something about your circumference, not about the length. A slender, tall woman might need W27 L36, while someone with more hips chooses W30 L36. Always check the size information per item at Longlady - there you will find the measured waist, hip, and inseam length for the best match. Do you doubt between W- or L-sizes? Consult the general trouser size chart.

Why the Longlady fit makes a difference

Tall is not just a sum of centimeters - it requires different proportions. Longlady designs with length as a starting point:

• Extra long legs with the correct knee and calf position for an elegant drape.
• Adjusted crotch height and rise, so that the trousers fit nicely without pulling.
• Measured sizes and size advice per item, so you know exactly what you are buying.
• Composition and fabrics carefully selected for fit and durability for tall silhouettes.

Our own Longlady collection is produced in Europe and is Oeko-Tex certified. In addition, we only select styles from other brands that are truly suitable for tall women.
