I got these because a) they were on sale and b) I had a hunch that the ankle length might actually work as a regular length for me, and I was right. The pattern is subtle and pretty and they fit nicely around the thighs, rear, and waist, especially after being washed. Do order a size or 2 lower than you think. If you have short legs as I do, they work as straight leg regular pants. My only complaints would be that the sizing is misleading and that when this brand is not on sale their items cost way more than I would pay for a pair of pants.I'm another petite height jeans purchaser who bought these to have the full length. I, too, got them on sale and with some trepidation - other reviews had said that the Alisha fit was quite tight. Despite my curvy hips and booty, these jeans fit perfectly. A very pleasant surprise. The brocade-like print has steampunk elan and reminds me of William Morris patterns, and the very dark grays are a useful neutral. I'm going to wear these for a long time!These are really nice looking--they're neutral without being plain. I love the fit of NYDJ. My only beef is that I wish they hugged the legs a little more. Even though they say they have more spandex than most, the legs fit as though they are all cotton.Love this company! This item ran small....I ordered a 14, but needed an 18 I think! I normally wear size 14 in this company but could not get pants past my hips. Ugh!Great jeans! Fit true to size, and subtle print great to dress up or down. Looks cute with a cardigan.I love these pants. I wear lots of black so these go with lots of things. Also cute w/black sweater and white tank. I am a curvy size 4 regular or 6 petite and these fit great in the 4. I am 5'4" and the pants are perfect in length. They are lighter weight than most Not Your Daughters. I love these!
