a jumbo will be better for the long run, imo.
im also 5'4" size 0-2 and own all classics in jumbo. i used to own some m/l size flaps but as i get older, for some reason the size doesnt seem to quite fit me any more. since then, i only have bought jumbo or larger size bags. i recently sold my reissue 2.55 w/ ghw in size 226 as i felt that was also still too small.

Thank you Ladies! I may have to go hunt for a Jumbo now.
I think the m/l size looks great on you. It really should come down to how you feel towards a certain bag. I know it's nice to get others opinions and see, but if you gravitate towards a certain style/size it should be for you! In the end, you're the one going to be using it and spending your $$ on it so it should be one that you LOVE! Regardless of it being the jumbo or m/l, pick one that fits what you're going to use it for! GL!
I think it depends on how you intend to use it, m/l for evenings & jumbo for daytime use, personally I would choose the jumbo as I would get more use out of it, I only own a GST but the jumbo is next ony list I just hope I can find one.
I wanted my first chanel to be a bag i could carry often, not just on special occasions. I have the Jumbo single flap and i love it. i use it both for evening and day. i found that the medium didn't hold enough for day use.
always "test" your bags.. make sure you can fit your essentials in there and have room for a little bit more.
goodluck!
Like others have mentioned: it all depends on how much you carry and hoe comfortable you are.
I found the m/l is far too small to put all my needs whilst with the Jumbo I can just about make everything fit (brolly, wallet, cosmetic case, credit card case, a small packet of haribo sweets!). But it does get heavy after a long day of walking... For reference I am 5'2 and a 0.
The flap is also a stiffer bag than the re-issue so there is not much room for the bag to give.
Hope this helps!

I do think Jumbo is great for everyday use but like others say, it really depends on how much you carry. Plus, I think m/l looks good as a sling bag than a jumbo. I'll preferably carry m/l when I travel too as it's lighter and u can carry it as a sling bag!
Jumbo is honestly more practical but it's sort of heavy when everything is inside. Right now I sort of regret my jumbos and they just sit in the closet. When I want a big bag to use I usually pass by them and grab my pst, bal bag or an lv.
The m/l looks nicer & definitely can be used more often as well since it can be used day & night, crossbody or on the shoulder.

Seems you haven't try jumbo on you so far. M/L looks great and strongly suggest you try jumbo before you buy. I was in same delimma while ago, and when i pick up my m/l in store, there happened to have a jumbo beige claire ghw. I put it on and isntantly decided go for m/l. It's too big for my frame and a bit heavy. If you own other Chanel or this is NOT going to be the only one, i suggest m/l for the most classic look. You can get jumbo later.
