I love my Stillwaters and they are my choice for "active" wear like hiking and highland games, don't get me wrong, but at 5'7" with a 28-29 inch inseam I know that before I can wear it, I'm gonna have to hem it. It's just a given at this point. If I don't hem it, it becomes a formal gown and I don't have proper shoes for that, nor do I know how to dance back'ards.
