Pees in the brown Koolaid
Ahhhh!! Yeah my entire uniform is between two and three sizes too big for me, depending on the piece because they claimed they've never needed to have such sizes available. The pants are a men's 30, and my waist is a 27 and I have rather short legs so the pants to a really awkward baggy/hovering up near my chest sort of thing. I asked my trainer if she had anything smaller and she didn't bother looking further and just told me no. She didn't have a belt for me either and told me to buy my own. Not to mention I don't feel particularly professional looking when my coat engulfs me. I'm sort of hoping my driver suggests the same thing, I haven't gotten to meet him yet (Tomorrow!) so we'll see what he says. I don't understand, they must have SOME smaller women working for them. Oh well, I'm not really going to make a big deal of it since I am temporary. I may hem the pants myself, though.
Hem the pants with duct tape. What you do is put them on inside out, pull the legs up to the correct length, and then hold them in place with a piece of duct tape. Then take them off, and run a "hem" of duct tape around the entire circumference of the leg. They will then be "hemmed" to the correct length. Turn them back right side out, and you are done. The tape wont show since its on the inside. If you use heavy duty tape, you can even wash it.
Once you have done all that, go ahead and bring your own properly-fitting denim pants or khakis or whatever along with you anyway. There is about a 99% chance that the driver you are assigned to isnt going to give a damn one way or the other whether you wear "official" uniform pants or not, and if you tell him the issued pants dont fit he will tell you wear your own. As far as the coat being baggy, you will probably have to put up with that. Too big is better than too small, it gives you more room underneath to layer your clothing to adjust for changings temps.
