The balloon jean #1 and 2 are so flattering on you. Although i do agree about the knee fold thing. Too bad, those were super cute otherwise. You may want to Google how to measure yourself to determine if you have a long or short torso vs leg length. Many people think that because your short - high waisted dont look good on ya and visa versa. But i finally discovered, it has more to do with your torso. Im 5'3", but actually NEED a super high rise jean and i found out it's because my legs are super short vs my torso, meaning my natural waist sits super high and my waist is super small compared to my wide hips. So for me i love that really long crotch, thats the front rise and 11"-12" is ideal for me. You may fall somewhere in between and maybe that is why that crotch in that pair werent comfy. My sister is slightly taller than me and she hates the super high rise. We are all so different and its more than just height and curves it turns out. But those balloons are made for you!!
