In fashion and clothing, a petite size is a U.S. standard clothing size designed to fit women of a short, smaller build of height 163 cm (5 ft 4 in) or less.[1][2]
Frequency[edit]
The average height of an American woman is roughly 163 cm (5 ft 4 in), thus about half of the population of women suit the petite definition.[citation needed]
In the UK and throughout Europe the average height of a woman is around 170 cm (5 ft 7 in).[citation needed]
