Excerpt in the window of the print: Instructions for measuring are often unclear.

(Pippi Longstocking (Swedish Pippi Långstrump) is a fictional character in a series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren; Pippi was named by Lindgren's then nine-year-old daughter, Karin, who requested a get-well story from her mother one day when she was home sick from school
(c) The report says of MakeYourOwnJeans.com home page, "It’s cluttered and lacks 360-degree images and models, which are key to the success of sites like Zappos and Net-a-Porter."

Go to Zappos.com. Pick a pair of shoes. It is not 360 degrees. There are front, back, right, left, top and bottom views. (For panties, the site offers four views only: frontal, 45-degree deviation from frontal (right and left), and back.)
(d) "outer leg length: measure from waist to floor[;]
inner leg length: measure from crotch to floor [while barefoot]"

(e) "Second an Inseam measurement, for pants. This is measured from the crotch, down the inner leg to the desired hem length."

As the report indicates the jeans maker asked the reporter " if possible, to provide the inseam measurement, too. I wanted to scream. My more rational self, however, was impressed that the company checked to make sure I wanted cropped jeans."
