Where Are You Finding These it’s hard enough to get short enough legs even in womenswear

I don’t know if you’re looking for an answer, but I’m answering just in case! Keep in mind that I can only speak from experience, and also that my experience is strictly American.

The two big things that help me find pants are 1) primarily shopping in young men’s/teen sections and stores, and 2) not fucking with anything that has a size label instead of a waist and inseam measurement. #2 is hugely helpful when you need one of the measurements in a less common size, because it’s much easier to glance through and see “Oh, 31 is the lowest number in this section, I’ll move on” than to try and figure out what s/m/l etc means for a particular item (there is still variation I find in how things fit with the numbers, but it’s better, it mostly has to do with the material rather than whatever dice roll other sizing goes by), AND pants that measure that way pretty much always have more sizes available. 

For #1, I should also note that the more “fashionable” a store is, the more likely it is to have smaller sizes. This is more drastic for waist sizes, but it reflects in the inseam too. For example, Express runs a lot smaller than your typical JC Penny menswear (though don’t discount the boy’s section, for small stuff there can not only be great fits, but things like suit pieces can be much cheaper). If there’s an H&M near you, I’ve found their size range is really good without being as expensive. 

And if you’re looking for women’s stuff too, I have less recent experience, but going for the measurements instead of size is something I started doing back when I did women’s wear, and it was just as helpful. It’s less common on women’s stuff, but if you can find stores or brands that do it, it’s game changing.
