Frequently Asked Questions
Is petite the same as small?
No. Small is about size; petite is about proportion. A 5'4" woman with a 38" bust wears 14P, not regular S.
What gets shortened in petite cuts?
Sleeves by 1–2", skirt and dress length by 2–4", inseam by 2–4", and bust apex moves up. The chest, waist, and hip numbers stay the same.
Which brands carry true petite lines?
Banana Republic Petites, J.Crew Petite, Ann Taylor Petite, Talbots Petite, ASOS Petite, Boden Petite. Many luxury brands skip petite entirely.
Should I order regular or petite if I'm 5'5"?
Either works. Try petite for sleeve and inseam fit; regular if your torso is long. Most 5'5" women fit petite for tops, regular for bottoms.
