I'm 5'7" and never considered myself to be all that tall, but I think the average woman is something like 5'4". Good luck on your jeans search and let me know if you find a good brand. I don't like the really high or low waists either.
@noel: I went on a mission yesterday. I learned a few things- AVOID KOHLS!! They do not carry talls. In fact, unless you want to pay $100.00, they do not have 4's except in petites.I ended up at Penneys. I got the Arizona brand jeans. They actually make it look like I have a butt. It took some searching b/c most junior jeans are low rise, but their boot cut jean is more mid rise. They had longs in every size. I was going to look at other stores, but am not a shopper so I can only take it in small doses.
