Medium M & S trousers were always the right length for me - now even short are too long - ridiculous!!! |

Many years ago I used to be a machinist we got paid basic wages and a bonus over the top ... you used to make any size if you were short of the target so they used to be a mixed size lot ;-) ;-) ;-) I usually buy from B/M and size xl always fitted perfectly, now the sizes have changed, and xl is now 24/26 making them too big whilst 22/24 are too tight.... :-S :-S :-S my biggest problem is too long in the arms, I used to shorten them , but now cant manage to use my machine. why do they fix things that aint broke |

I haven't bought much in M&S recently but tried on a pair of jeans some time ago - the fit was fine but they were flapping round my feet and miles too long. No problem, just pick up the shorter length - got them home and they were virtually half-mast. OH never has a problem - if it says 32" long, it IS 32" long. Why is it so difficult? |

I think it all went haywire when they started having things made abroad. |

I've noticed they can be a big difference in sizing |

I have bought 3 pairs of jeans and jean style trousers in the past 2 weeks (well there was a sale on). One pair of Indigo jeans and one pair of Classic style trousers are one and a half inches too long, one pair of Classic jeans style trousers are exactly the right length (i.e. one and a half inches shorter than the other two.) |

At a size 20 I'm a big girl but I am only 5' 3" with a 27" inside leg and so need short jeans. However M&S don't do short jeans above a size 18. :-( I agree though there is a huge difference in actual size. |

There's also a huge difference in the actual size too - and this is true across many shops - and it drives me mad :-D |

In particular trousers and jeans. Years back I could walk into M&S and pick up a pair of jeans or trousers medium (or whatever they called the equivalent length then) and they would fit perfectly, no need to try them on. |
