#1 Girls - please help me!! Posted 05/03/2010 @ 09:27

This is a request to all the girls to give me some advice on clothing for my girlfriend.

We are off over Easter and it is the gf's first snow experience. Everything's booked and we are keen as.

One big issue though is kitting her out. She is about 4" 11' (though she claims to be well over 5 foot!!). Jackets are not too much of an issue as XS works for her but pants are a nightmare - they either are too tight or have about a foot over on the leg! Normally she takes a size 12 trouser and then has them taken up.

There must be some small(er) girls out there that can help us out - what do you do?

Thanks!

Just go with the 'foot too long leg'!
Baggy is the way forward and they'll be fine once she's got her boots on.

If she's a 12, I'd probably go for a medium in most makes of pants, although Burton seem to come up a bit bigger so a small may be better.

but Helly Hanson jackets are made for gorillas!!!! The length of the arms in them is ridiculous (or at least the ones i've tried)
I usually have to take short or petite trouser, but just wear normal board trouser as once you've got your boots on it makes no difference. I know that Brurton do a normal/short/tall sizing, but whether or not you can get them over here, i don't know. You'd probably have to get them early season and ask the shop to order them in for you. Don't know if other brands also do different lengths.

Dick Dastardly was right, don't just stand there, do something
