I love these pants! The only thing, after having them for a year, is that the tend to pill. This may be avoided by washing them with other items that won't encourage this. I still love them. I wear them for casual occasions and to work all of the time. I'm 5'4" and usually a 14 or 16. I purchased the 16 short. I may even be able to get away with the 14 short in this style as it's very forgiving.
