I have several pairs of these scrub pants in different colors as I keep trying to find the perfect fit.  I am between a L and XL .... and the petite are a bit short and the regular are a bit long.  I decided to return them until I either lose weight to order the smaller size.  The quality is great, though, they wash well and do not shrink in the dryer (something I wish they did to make m XL just a tad smaller, since the L is a little too tight in the butt for me.
