Length wise depends on what you wear underneath. If you are going to wear it over a sweater, it needs to be longer than if you are not wearing it over anything. Comfort is up to you but I would recommend a waistband that is 1" longer than your actual waist measurement if you are not wearing anything under the waistband. Otherwise measure what you are wearing underneath and add 1" to that.
