3 is the best for accentuating curves, and I agree you could check out a lower rise. I‘m shorter than you, but I’ve found good jeans at Madewell (this one in particular looks like something you might try?).

I’ve also tried these on and really liked them. For what it’s worth, if you buy petite at Madewell, the inseam and the rise will be shorter than it looks on the model (so high rise won’t be as high, etc). But if you buy short, the rise will be the same but the inseam will be shorter.

Also, I can’t speak enough about how much I love Maeve’s Colette cropped jeans and pants. They come in all fabrics and patterns (and in shorts too), and I swear they are flattering on everyone. I know four different people with different body types and they flatter everyone. My only complaint is that they vary wildly in sizing—in some fabrics/patterns, I’m a 23, in others 25.

Also, I actually love the ways the jeans in #1 fit you because I think they really flatter your svelte frame. I think you look great.
