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

  1. Measure your height without shoes.
  2. Measure bust, waist and hips.
  3. Use the petite size and lengths shown when you shop.
