I'm curvy and short (4'11) and have trouble finding dress pants that are comfortable and make me look good--these pants are amazing. I can wear them with flats (they hit right above the ankle) or heels. There is no gap at the waist, but there's enough room in the butt/thighs just so that the fabric skims my legs for a classy loose look. Please offer more colors! (Reference I am a size 6 or 27, I got a medium)
