I'm 5'10 and I can literally pull these right up to my underbust whole they're pulled all the way down over my ankles. To be fair I am still, if barely, a 2x. The elastic wasteband is fine unless your natural waist falls in a fat roll because wow is that uncomfortable in general and these are standard. The crotch seam is no more obvious than any colour legging. And speaking of colour, it's super cute and pops.
