I'm very short waisted AND have scoliosis, so hip hugger pants are usually too big in the waist and one leg is longer than the other. Sometimes I can take tucks in the "waistband" and make the pants fit more on my actual waist, but on these, the crotch length is too short. Otherwise the fit (size 4) and style were great for my 5'7", 120# frame. Too many women's pants these days have useless pockets and extra seams that just irritate my legs as I walk or bike in them.
