    I still am going to recommened New york and company. Try the different styles; maybe you need a smaller size if they are becoming too loose. I am 5'10 as well and ONLY wear this brand of pants. I love american eagle jeans as you can order them online in extra long and they are the perfect length to wear with heels/ boots.

    Old Navy (these usually produce a huge about of waist band gap-age though), JC Penney (Liz Claiborne Chelsea), and Kohls (the Levi's there are pretty affordable and a lot come in "longs").

    I agree...and have the same issues(5'10" and size 8-10) and I love Kohls and Old Navy. Penneys isnt bad either.

    I'm 5'9" and rarely ever can find long enough pants at Kohls.

    I'd have suggested NY&Company too. Maybe you want to try buying a size smaller there...and once they stretch, you'll be all set?

    JC Penney has a lot of talls as well. Sometimes you have to order from the catalog, but it might be worth it! If you do need more jeans, every tall girl I know loves Victoria's Secret for getting long enough inseams to pair with heels.

    I am about 5'9 and at the begining of my weight loss. I can't wait to have this problem! I'll be watching for early research.

    I am not a tall woman, but my wife is 5'11" and she swears by Victoria's Secret (She says their tall is actually tall not just non-short.

    Old Navy. Their jeans are sold at a reasonable price, and they come in different lengths.

    Kohl's has tall in their "Stretchy" jeans. The ones I have don't stretch out by the end of the day, they stay a "little" clingy, but not too clingy. They are by Gloria Vanderbuilt. My favorite thing about them (besides they stretch so they are comfortable around the waist), even though I'm a size 16 in regular pants, I wear a 14 in these. Great Mental Plus!

    Congratulations on your success!

    Oh, I just remembered...I got a couple pairs of Arizona brand khaki type pants at JCP last year and they came in long (looked good with heels at work). I remember having a coupon and there was a good sale going on, so they didn't cost a lot.

    Good luck...dress pants are a pain when it comes to length (unless you want to spend big bucks on higher-end designer brands).

    I am 6'2 and a size 14.. I usually buy my jeans at the Buckle, American Eagle, and NY&Co--You may have great luck with AE Jeans.. Your not as tall as I am so their Talls would work well for you. ( I have to order the XTalls online ..BLAH!) Sometimes you can get some good sales at the Buckle... go in and try it out.. their jeans are AMAZING totally worth the money.

    I been hitting the thrift stores and other places like Plato's Closet for second hand clothing while I am in transition. Beats paying the high prices for something you will be out of in a few months.

    I'm 5'10" and have regular success with Maurice's and Gap/Gap Outlet. Old Navy is hit or miss with length. The upshot is that Gap/Old Navy.com (same parent company, so the sites are all linked) have tall (36" inseam), in addition to long (34" inseam). They also have free shipping on orders over $50, and it is pretty easy to find promotions for 20 to 30% off. Plus, you can make online order returns at your local store (but they sent a label for free return shipping with my order, too!). I ordered both talls and longs in the pants I was interested in, then made my decision because sometimes I can get away with a 34" inseam (not sure why this is). I was really happy overall.

    Since you mentioned not wanting to spend a ton because you're still shrinking (go you!) I'd suggest Rue21. Seriously, I get jeans there for $5-10 on sale, they have curvy and regular fit, and I've always found them long enough. I am 5'10" myself, and have the same trouble finding jeans long enough. I also have great luck with Levi's, believe it or not. I do great with their average length, but the Talls are definitely nice and long. I am a size 9/11, depending on the brand, and have had good luck with both. Happy shopping!

    Alloy.com or Delias.com

    I swear by their jeans...all super cute and CHEAP! If you shop the sale section you can find jeans for $19.99. Both stores have jeans with inseams up to 37"- amazing for us tall women. I usually go with a 34" or 35" inseam and I'm 5' 9". I love my jeans to be super long! :) Good luck and congrats on all of your success!
