A MUM was stunned to discover her new Boohoo trousers were designed for a person with 'the world's longest legs' and 'could fit the green giant' at nearly FIVE FEET long.
Mhairi Billington had ordered a new pair of green cargo trousers from online retailer Boohoo in preparation for a 90s-themed rave.
However, the 27-year-old mum-of-two got more than she bargained for when she unwrapped the bottoms on 30th December to find that they were abnormally lengthy.
Mhairi claims that the trousers almost reached her neck when she held them up to her five-foot-five frame, making the garment nearly five feet long.
The carer claims that there was a 'whole extra leg's space' at the bottom of the trousers, and was quick to capture the moment on film as she showed how they were almost as tall as her.
Mhairi, from Sefton, Liverpool, said: "I pulled them out and thought, 'Oh my God, these are gorgeous. I'm going to love these'.

The surprising purchase quickly went viral on TikTok, with footage showing the stunned fashionista holding the length of the trousers up to her body in comparison.

One user said: "I ordered beige ones and they were the length of me from head to toe."
Another said: "Being 4'11 they'd literally be taller than me."
