Since I'm only 5 feet tall, the petite size fits just right on me. I discovered these pants last year at a local nursing uniform store and bought a couple pair there.  Recently, I wanted different colors and found that the store went out of business. Thank God for Amazon! Price is great with quick delivery. I usually don't buy pants on-line unless I've tried them on, but I already knew ahead of time what size would fit me because I had a couple pair from last year.
