It's mostly the top part -- the amount of fabric comes up to the same level on a 3-dimensional person looks longer when it's flat. The outseam tends to be longer for the same reason.
Ah, I see. That makes sense.
We should switch places. The ones around here generally have way more short lengths, at least when I happen to be looking.
Huh. How strange. Literally the last time I saw any pair of pants in a short length was when I was in high school. And that's in two different markets, since I would occasionally look for jeans up at school. (And there was England, of course, but I realized quickly that I was never going to find a pair of pants to fit me over there. NEVER. And even if I did, it'd be three times as expensive.)
My guess is they're misjudging their local markets, and we're both getting there behind the feeding frenzy. ;-)
Hey, definitely possible.
For a while there, I was figuring I was completely screwed when that finally goes out, because when it came in was the first time in my life I was finding pants long enough.
Oh, my. I suppose it does suck more to have too-short pants than too-long ones.
Crossing my fingers that the brands actually bothering to do lengths for women's pants will continue to do so after the "drag your hems on the ground in heels" phase finally passes.

Yes!
