If you’re petite (and even if you’re not), you’re probably familiar with the process of having your jeans hemmed to get just the right length. Next time you take a pair in to the tailor (or even if you’re attempting it yourself!), ask them to save the original stitched bottom and reattach it after the hems have been taken up—it’s the quickest and easiest way to ensure a professionally-finished looking hem.
