I know the 529's *did* come in lengths at one point but I think they discontinued that feature. The first time I went searching for them, I only found the one or two random short lengths (and they were either 2's or 14's). I've never found any mid-sizes in the short, so I think they just stopped making them for some reason.

Oh, and my bold curve jeans have not shrunk in length at all and I have put them in the dryer. Both pairs have been washed two or three times now and both are still long enough.

What I like best about them (besides the fact that they fit)? They don't stretch out much! I can wear them two or three times between washings and they still look pretty good. They don't look like baggy, old lady pants on me like my 529's always did. One wearing of those and they always looked terrible!
Oh, good good news! Do you wash them in warm or cold?

Thanks for the heads-up on the bootcuts. I probably won't buy them, anyhow. I was nervous that the strait-legs would be too snug through my freaky big calves, but they are great. I'm even tempted to get a pair in black for dress...or maybe even try the skinny ones (though I don't think those would be very flattering on my stubby legs, so I probably won't). Neither is available in my size right now.
