I love the cut of the Lee curvy fit pants in general (I've had many pairs in the past), and the wide waistband is also very flattering. But these regular length were way too long for me, and I'm 5'5". The regular length in the parchment would be perfect for someone 5'7" who was wearing a one inch heel or maybe even someone 5'8". I find that frustrating, as that is definitely not the average height for an American woman. Also, as many other reviewers have noted, the sizing is not at all consistent with Lee pants. After I returned these, I went to a physical store and tried on three Lee pairs in different colors, but all the same pant in the same size, and all three fit very differently, as if they were completely different sizes. I really like these pants, but it is difficult to predict what you're going to get.
