Developed specifically for women with a height of 160 cm (5'3") and under.
The chart is based on professional industry standards and reflects real petite body proportions, not just shortened garments. It includes measurements in both centimetres and inches, covering the key size range from XS to XL.
This reference is designed to support pattern development, garment fitting, and accurate grading for the petite segment of the womenswear market.
Height is listed as 160 cm (5’3”) across all five sizes because, in industry standards for Petite fit, this measurement is treated as a fixed reference point - not a variable.
Petite sizing is defined by a specific height range (typically under 160 cm), and the variations between sizes XS to XL refer only to horizontal body measurements such as bust, waist, and hips. All Petite garments are developed with shortened proportions (e.g., torso length, sleeve, rise, and inseam) based on this single height benchmark, regardless of the size. Using a consistent reference height ensures proper grading and a reliable fit across the entire Petite range.
That said, while 160 cm is the reference height used in development, the garments are designed to flatter women who are shorter as well - including those around 155 cm (5’1”). Because the key to Petite sizing lies in the overall body proportions - such as a shorter torso, higher waistline, and reduced sleeve and inseam lengths - women just a few centimeters shorter than the reference will still find the fit well-balanced and proportionally appropriate.
