Not Really Petite
I am 5’5” ordered these in a petite so I would have more of the ankle cropped look. These hit the floor. Disappointed other mother petite jeans I’ve purchased that are intended to hit the floor are perfect. And yes the tag states they are petite.

not petite
I’m 5’4 these pants did not fit like they do on the model. These fit full length on me. Would love if these were actually petite fit.

Love these!
The wash is a beautiful color and will be great for fall. Because these are petite jeans, the high waist doesn't feel like it's strangling me, and the length hits just at my ankle bone. I especially appreciate the very small amount of stretch in these jeans -- so tired of jeans with too much stretch that won't even stay on by the end of the day!

not petite
There is no way that these jeans can be petite. They are too tight around the waist and way too long in length. The sizing is way off. Very disappointing.
