For reference, I'm 5'2" and 128 lbs. My waist is 27" and hips are 38". I ordered a size 6 and they fit me perfectly. The length hits just above my ankle. I'm sure on someone taller it would be a true crop jean. The color isn't quite as bright red, but it's still a very nice shade. I've been looking for a true red pair of jeans for a while, so this was a very lucky find for me. They fit just a little bit lower than natural waist but are no means low-rise. Helps hide minimal flaws (ie: extra love from pregnancy). I got lots of compliments and I plan on ordering more colors in this style.
