I am holding on to my jeans from the Loft that I bought 4 years ago. I also have some new ones from Banana Republic, that I love, but they are too long to wear with my casual shoes. I am close to getting them hemmed.
Interesting! The only place I've seen "petite" or "short" jeans that have a 30" inseam is Victoria's Secret, but I haven't tried that many places and have never even been in a Banana Republic. Most petite jeans I've tried have been too short (28 or 28.5" inseams). The only ones I can wear in the "Ankle" (short) length at Gap are the Long and Lean model (longer than the norm for Gap). And at Loft, the jean styles from the last year or so are long enough now, but a couple of pairs I bought several years ago were a little too short, so I sold them on ebay! All of LL Bean's petite pants have 28.5" inseams, so even though they've got some cute styles these days, I can't wear them -- they might work for you!
