duh question: have you tried men's pants?
I'm one of those ridculously short people with a short waist (I'm not sure
why they call it that, since the net effect is that I need more length
from crotch to waist than a non 'short waisted' person of the same height,
but okay :) ) and I've found that buying pants with a 34" or 36" inch
inseam and hemming (I sew out of self defense, okay? :) ) them up is the
most reliable way of getting pants that fit comfortably.
As annoying as hand sewing is (and as inept as I am with a sewing machine,
hand sewing really is my best option) hemming pant legs is actually not
horribly time consuming -- it takes an hour or two per pair of pants, but
only has to be done once.
