I bought a new pair of charcoal gray pants that needed hemming. After ripping old hem out, pinning new hem in and trying on with a pair of beige shoes I still wasn't sure about the length for low heeled shoes.
First, let me clarify I wouldn't wear these pants with beige heels, just easier to see where the length hits the heel on a lighter shoe. I have some very low heel dressy sandals that I might wear with these pants, but the heel is black and hard to see where the pants fall. I have a roll of about 2 inch wide blue painters tape and I cut off about
3 inches. I cut that strip in half making about 1 inch wide, 3 inch long strips. I put a strip on each sandal heel, slipped the pants on and checked the length with a hand mirror standing backwards in front of my full length mirror.
Voila`! I could see my pants wouldn't be dragging the ground in these shoes!! This the peril of living alone and checking the length of pants. Just thought I would share my little solution and if anyone has a better way to do this I'd be happy to hear your tip!
