I love these pants. I am 5'2 (on a good day), curvy, and about 160 lbs. These of course are much too long for me. I will have to hem them. But that's somewhat expected because I am height challenged. These pants are perfect int he waist band. They are just stretchy enough to go over your hips but not too tight that it pushes your stomach up in a bunch. These pants don't fall down as you want. They are perfect. I bought another pair in red but I bought a petite size. They fit in the legs much better.
