Heights are a typical guide. Your own inseam matters most, so go by it if your legs run longer or shorter: measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". How to measure
Maximum stretch, so most women size down one from their usual department store size.
Two quick questions and we'll pick your length and size. You can still change either one.
Laura, Ava Lane founder, is 5'2" and wears a size 1 in the Rae.
Love the fit? 2 pairs for $139 or 3 for $189. Mix any styles, no code needed.
Crossed out means sold out in that length. Tap it to get an alert when it is back.
Between sizes? Size down. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too; they will be a bit more fitted.
Rise is 11 1/2" in size 3 and 13 1/8" in size 18W.
How to measure your inseam
One minute and a tape measure. This number matters more than your height.
- Stand straight, barefoot, feet slightly apart.
- Hold the tape at your crotch and run it down the inside of your leg.
- Stop at your ankle bone. That number is your inseam.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg.
- Stop at the hem.
Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". Many women like a little extra length, especially with shoes.

Full product details: rise, fabric and care
The Rae High Rise Tummy Control Wide Leg Jeans are made for the days when you want to look put together without spending the day thinking about your jeans. Ultra soft stretch denim, a hidden elastic back waistband, and built in tummy control work together for a fit that feels comfortable from the moment you put them on.
The dark charcoal wash and structured wide leg give you the look of polished denim while the flexible construction moves with you through sitting, driving, working, running errands, and everything else on your schedule.
And with three inseam options, you can choose the length that works for your height instead of settling for a one length fits all wide leg jean.
Feels like: Your most comfortable lounge pants.
Looks like: Structured wide leg denim that holds its shape.
Why You'll Love It
- High Rise Comfort Fit: Sits above the natural waist for comfortable coverage and a secure fit that smooths without squeezing.
- Built In Hip To Hip Tummy Control: An interior smoothing panel supports the midsection and creates a clean front while maintaining the flexibility you want for all day wear.
- Hidden Elastic Back Waistband: Concealed stretch elastic at the back waist moves with your body throughout the day while the classic button and zipper closure keeps the front looking like traditional denim.
- Ultra Soft Stretch Denim: Premium cotton blend denim combines a broken in, soft hand feel with maximum stretch and enough structure to hold its shape.
- Relaxed Wide Leg Fit: Comfortable through the hips and thighs before opening into a balanced wide leg for an easy, flattering fit.
- Dark Charcoal Wash: Clean, non distressed charcoal denim gives these wide leg jeans a polished finish that pairs easily with casual everyday outfits or more elevated looks.
- Three Inseam Options: Choose Short 29", Regular 32", or Long 35" for a length that better fits your height and styling preference.
Designed for Real Life
The Rae is designed for the way you actually wear jeans. The hidden elastic back waistband flexes as you sit and move, while the hip to hip tummy control panel provides comfortable support through the midsection. The result is denim you can wear through a full day without constantly tugging at your waistband or counting down until you can change.
Pair the dark charcoal wash with sneakers and a casual top for everyday wear, or add boots, a sweater, or an elevated top when you want a more polished look.
Fit & Fabric
Fit Note: Size down with maximum stretch. Most customers find this runs larger than their usual department store jeans size. For example, if you are typically a waist size 26 in Levi's, you should get a waist size 25 in The Rae.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer the same size as their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 5 in The Rae.
For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.
Rise:
Size 3: 11.5"
Size 18W: 13.13"
Inseam: Short 29", Regular 32", Long 35"
Fabric: 78% Cotton, 15% Polyester, 7% Spandex.

The Why Behind the Design
Comfort should not require giving up the look of real denim. The Rae was designed to solve the little frustrations that can make you want to take your jeans off halfway through the day.
The hidden elastic back waistband gives your waist room to move, the built in hip to hip tummy control panel provides supportive smoothing through the midsection, and ultra soft stretch denim delivers flexibility without losing the structured look you want from a wide leg jean.
Add three inseam options and a versatile dark charcoal wash, and The Rae becomes the pair you can put on in the morning, wear through everything the day brings, and forget you're wearing jeans.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Rae gap in the back?
No. The Rae is fitted through the waist so it does not gap at the back.
Do the Rae jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip panel smooths and supports your midsection without squeezing.
Should I size down in the Rae?
The Rae has maximum stretch, so most women size down one from their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 25 in the Rae. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 5 in the Rae.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too. They will be a bit more fitted.
Do the Rae jeans have an elastic waist?
Yes, in the back only. Hidden stretch elastic in the back waistband moves with you, and the front has a classic button and zipper.
Is the dark charcoal the same fit as the blue Rae?
Yes. It is the same Rae fit, rise, stretch and three inseams, in a clean dark charcoal wash.
What is the rise of the Rae?
The rise is 11 1/2" in size 3 and 13 1/8" in size 18W.
Which inseam should I choose for my height?
The Short 29" typically fits 5'4" and under, the Regular 32" typically fits 5'5" to 5'8", and the Long 35" typically fits 5'9" and up. Your own inseam matters most, so measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura, our founder, is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam. She wears the Rae in a size 1, Short 29".
Will I need to hem the Rae?
Everyone is built a little differently, so measure first. Your inseam runs from your crotch to your ankle bone, and many women like a length a little longer than their measurement, especially with shoes.
Are the Rae jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Rae comes in three inseams: Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35". Petite women can choose the Short and tall women can choose the Long.
What sizes does the Rae come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35".
What is the Rae made of?
78% cotton, 15% polyester and 7% spandex, with maximum stretch. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.

Use the size finder on this page, or our full Find My Size tool, where you enter the sizes you wear now and get your best match. Our team is also here 7 days a week to help.

These are great looking pants. I could have possible sized down a size. The material is very stretchy and very soft. Definitely does not feel like you are wearing jeans.
For my tall friends who grew up in the 80s and 90s when there was no market for jeans in lengths, the Rae is for you! The comfort, the stretch, the wide leg and the 35 inch inseam are perfection! I’m 5’11” wearing the size 3. I am normally a 6 in the department stores so trust the sizing recommendations. Highly recommend!
Love them!!!
Feel cheap. Look cheap
LOVE
comfy
These pants are IT!!! Buy them!
These jeans are super comfy with a ton of stretch! Be sure to size down one, maybe even two, because they definitely run big.
These look so nice on! They are very comfortable and lightweight! Definitely should get them!
These are not your average jeans. First off they are great quality! It was suggested to size down and I did. Perfect! I’m 5’7” and the length is perfect as well. These pants have good stretch which makes these extra comfy. Dress up or dress down these can go either way!
These are not your average jeans but you can dress them up or down and feel like you’re wearing your favorite jogging pants!! Love these!
I am 5'3" and 130 lbs. I ordered the size 27/5 with 29" inseam and they fit perfectly! I can't wait to wear them!!
Love these pants! They look like jeans and can be dressed up or down. The wide legs are stylish and so comfortable! It’s like wearing a nice pair of lounge pants. Glad I bought both colors because I know I’ll be wearing these a lot!
I ordered these jeans in black, and they fit wonderful. Don’t buy these thinking they are just typical jeans though…. They look like jeans, but feel like the best lounge pants ever! These are great dressed up with booties and a dressy blouse or sweater but look just as good with a tshirt and sneakers. I own several different styles of jeans from Ava Lane and they are all my favorite.
