I love my jeans, but I can't bring myself to pay more than $40 or $50 bucks a pair. The hardest part is that I'm about 6' tall, so it's almost impossible to find affordable tall jeans. I thought I'd give these a try, and based on the reviews, I ordered a size down. I'm normally about a 10, but ordered an 8 just in case. Even that was HUGE! Thank goodness for free returns, because I'll give it another shot, but this time stick with a size 6, so I would recommend maybe buying one size down and another size down, and returning whichever one doesn't fit. As for the length, they are along, they don't drag on the ground and I can't/don't have to fold them up, so I think "long" is long enough even for the super long-legged ladies out there.
