How Do You Know When You Are Petite?

Question

in size?

or what is the average weight and height of a petite person?

Answer 1

Petite is (according to most department stores) any women who is shorter than 5 foot 3 inches. Although the average height for women in the UK and US is around 5 foot 4 inches (it should be noted that this varies across the world). I do not know the average weight of women, as this will vary so much from person to person due to activity level (fat to muscle ratio), natural metabolism and even hormone fluctuations. A BMI (Body Mass Index) of between 18.5 and 25 is considered healthy, so for somebody who is 5 foot 3 inches, then you could weigh anywhere between 98lbs and 140lbs and be healthy. Although health is obviously determined by many other factors, including diet and exercise. Hope this helps.  

Answer 2

weight-doesnt matter

height-like 5feet i believe...

if normal shirts look too big on you then your petite on top or bottom...or you maybe wearing the wrong sizes...maybe try getting a fitting?
