I have four pairs of these jeans all in the Seaside shade. Mine do not seem as dark as the picture here but more like a darker version of the Sky shade. I am about 5'2 and wear the size 18. They fall a little longer in length but I wear these with a heeled mule type shoe and I prefer a little more length, so it is not an issue for me.  They fit GREAT all over and I love how they are tilted in the waist. I also love the way they look from behind the flap pockets in back really make the rear look nice. I highly recommend these Jeans and they are the only ones I will buy.
