Can’t your friend Ann give you some instructions?
Otherwise, sacrifice an old pair of pants for the sake of learning.

Ok I haven’t read ALL the comments cuz I don’t have time (I should be getting ready for work right now.) But you know I’m cheap… err… frugal. I have to be. We don’t have money so we don’t have it to spend. That’s easy enough right!?

DUCT TAPE.

You roll the bottom cuff to where you need it and iron your pants to give it a crisp hemline.

And then you duct tape the underside in place. You can use a warm iron to re-iron the top again just to make the pleat crisp where the tape may have flattened it a tiny bit.

There ya go.

Those shoes are pretty freakin cute!

You could try to find out how to hem online (because, can’t we find everything online? Heck yes!) and test it out on some old pants or some pants from the DI to see if you can do it, and if so, then do it yourself.

Can I just say, I’m so jealous of you normal-heighthed people. I absolutely HATE being tall. I’ve always wanted to be around 5′3. I wish my pants were too long without me having to SEARCH for 35 inch-seams.
