Well constructed and good fit, but too long if you are short (5'1)

By Jessica Weasner Ranked #429 - Women's Casual Pants October 1, 2009

I just received these pants today, washed them, and am wearing them now (with a belt). I was pleasantly surprised with how they fit. I have a terrible time finding pants. I am 5'1 and 124 lbs (I carry most of my weight on the bottom half of my body). I can wear a 4p or 6p in Ann Taylor pants or 8p in Sonoma pants from Kohls. I ordered a size 8p in these pants and, after washing, find that they are slightly looser than I would like them too be, but not falling off me. I think I could probably fit into a 6p, but I want to wear these pants hiking so I do want them to be loose fitting. My only complaint is that they are too long for me - which is a problem I almost always have with pants. I could wear them with heels just fine, but with tennis shoes they are going to be hanging on the ground. If these pants were about 2 inches shorter they would be perfect.
I got the gray and am very happy with the color. I would order another pair (any color) in 6p but unfortunately they are not in stock.
