I have ordered and returned several slacks that are way too short from waist to crotch - if you look at some of the models, the waistline dips in the front - sometimes slacks that say "to the waist" do not go all the way to the waist - the fabric of these slacks was exellent - would have liked to keep them. By the way, I am 4' 11"
I love these pants. I tried them on as soon as I received them and they fit perfectly. I'm so happy because I normally have trouble with the waist, but not with these. The fabric is wonderful and they fall beautifully on the leg. I just ordered another pair. The price is fantastic.
