I just had a baby and i weigh 145 lbs and im 5'3. Its definitely long at least 3-4 inches. I used a hemming adhesive tape to hem it. It you're not used to high waisted pants like me, it might be uncomfortable for you. I also move around a lot for work so the waist band part was kind of annoying.  I ordered size 7 and I have a small frame, and all around and still have baby weight to lose. It flattened weight but the waist runs a bit tight.  I used to wear a size 5 at 135 lbs. So i figured size 7 might be decent based on reviews. I couldve ordered size 9 for more comfy fit. I don't like the midframe area but hubby likes it. So ill keep it! lol. So giving it a 5

Note: wash these with dark colors. The jeans bleed at first. I wiped jeans with damp cloth without washing, and the cloth was blue.
