The length of these trousers are great. The waist is still a little on the large size. Using the waist pulls means they fit without the need for a belt or huge bunching at the back. Plus they're not too skinny on her so appropriate for school. My daughter is very slim with long legs and i really struggle to find anything remotely suitable for her. Next are about the best around, not perfect and a tad more expensive but it's worth it not to have her trousers fall down or look like she's wearing capri pants in the winter. I just wish that they had this more across their range. There's only so much black and navy an 11 year old wants to wear. Fleece lined leggings would be awesome.
