Quick Rant: Petite is a size
I’m flipping through this magazine and there’s a pretty good article about body shapes and how to dress for them. I get to the end of the article and it lists petite as a body shape. Ummmm…. What? While it would be nice if stores merchandised items by body shape, that is not how it works. Petite is NOT a shape, it is a size. Petite by definition is a person with a small frame, typically short in stature (5’4 and under). Petite people frequently have to have RTW (ready to wear) items tailored to fit them or shop in the petite section. They still fall into the traditional body shapes and need to dress accordingly. For example, you can have a petite person that has an hour glass shape or be an inverted triangle.
So, keep in mind when you are shopping what your body shape is and be sure to shop in the right size.
