Firstly!! These will shrink in the dryer! Hang or lay flat to dry. Having said that, I am 6 feet tall with a 33" inseam, and high waisted. These were too long for me in tall. Too short in regular. Size 17 which is not popular in availabilty. Can generally wear an 18 or 16, depends on the brand. I f...eel these run slightly big. I bought size 16 and yes I threw them in the dryer. Length shrunk a good inch inch and a half and are now perfect. Waist shrunk slightly and was snug but! As other reviews have said, they do tend to stretch a small bit during wearing. So it wasn't really a problem in the waist. If you find they are a perfect length for whatever length you wear do NOT put them jn the dryer and cold wash only! I bought the brown check, navy, and dawn glow. Dawn glow is a really nice grey mauve colour, perfect for spring and summer. Love pixie flare and straight style! So comfortable and flexible.
