Quick answer
Petite sizing is for women about 5'3" (160 cm) and under. It keeps the same width as regular sizes but shortens lengths: sleeves, torso, rise and inseam. Your petite size is your regular size, such as M, with a P. At 152 cm, ankle-length trousers need about a 27-inch inseam, compared with 30 inches in regular sizes.
How to measure
- Measure your height without shoes.
- Measure bust, waist and hips.
- Use the petite size and lengths shown when you shop.
