I'm 5'4" with short legs. I wear a Misses size but my inseam is 28 1/2"-29". The petites would be a perfect length for me BUT the rise would be uncomfortably short. I like a Hollywood waist. Not buying since there isn't a size to fit me. My jeans are mostly Democracy anyway. That brand fits me just right

Not for me. The petites would be a tad too short, while the regulars would be too long. And, I'm a very average 5'6".

 

They look to be pooling on the floor for many of the models, even wearing some heel height. Not sure what they were thinking with these lengths.

 

They may be a good opportunity for our taller ladies, who seem to struggle to find the length they need. It's tough for them. You can cut off pants too long, but you can't add to 'em.

I think many people are going to be disappointed when they get these pants. If you take a close look, the crotch is too long and the pants wrinkle at the knees. The petite has to wear heels so they don't drag on the floor..Whoever designed these jeans must not have a background in fashion. If this is their new signature line, they need to go back to the drawing board.

I am not a jeans person, I have 2 pair of Logo jeans and several pair of her knit denim joggers.  As a rule, I don't find jeans comfortable, I prefer a legging or a knit pant like Isaac's Elements pants.  QVC seems obsessed with jeans, so that saves me money.  I do like high waisted things so that isn't a deal breaker for me, but they don't really have anything about them that makes me want them.  I don't think I'm D&Co's audience any longer. I've moved on.

@SingingLady What is a Hollywood waist?  Does that mean they are higher waisted?  If so, then I will be checking out the Democracy jeans at HSN.  I like a higher waist for my jeans.

I can remember back in the 70s and maybe the 80s wearing boot cut (flares) and having them pool on the floor.  I thought they were cool at the time.  It's not a look that I want to revist.  I think it looks sloppy and I like having my shoes show.

I am soooo happy to see these jeans! I was disappointed when the pull  on bootcut jeggings which had absolutely no pockets were discontinued. These are perfect! I prefer comfort and a smooth sleek look when wearing jeans. I do not tuck in my shirt. Loops, zippers and pockets are bulky and uncomfortable plus they make you look bigger. 

Thank you Gary!!!!! I am 5'10" and got several of the TSV in regular as my perfect inseam is 32 and 31.5 will work for me.

I like them! I love a Hollywood waist. I have a couple of pair of SG Hollywood waist denim jeans and like them a lot.  To me this TSV pair seems to be the D&Co answer to the Women with Control Prime Stretch Denim. I have so many pairs of those I cannot count. The problem with those is they don't last very long. They used to but the past year or so the new ones have been getting holes along the seams in sensitive places. I still buy them but at the price I feel they should last longer.

If this TLV jean is good I will come back and order more pairs. I ordered the medium wash. I am 5''8" but long torso and shorter legs. So I got the petite (size 12) since the length is 28.5".

I'm not ordering these because I'm not a fan of pull-on jeans, but I'm fine with the longer inseam. With so many ankle length pants, it's nice to see a full length jean. Also, I think the price is quite reasonable.

I was referring to the Hollywood waist on the tsv jeans, at least in front. No defined waistband. Just smooth. Democracy Ab-Solution jeans have a zippered fly front. And all the usual pockets. But also elastic in the waist and in the front abdominal panel. Very flattering. Try a pair!
