I was actually comparing Black Koi to Banana Republic's PETITE clothes. Banana's pants also have a 30" inseam (with a shorter rise, etc). The only difference I can think of between Banana and Black Koi (other than price point) is that Banana uses 5'4" or shorter for their petite line, while Black Koi says it's 5'3" or less. I'd gather that the fit models for both lines are around 5'2".
