[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I suppose I'm the only honest one here. At 5'4" you should be Size 2-4. I'm 5'4", mostly size 2, some size 0s, depending on the cut. I weight 124 and have a muscular frame.[/quote]

Lol. I’m 5’4” with a 30 H bra size. The idea that I could ever fit in a size 2-4 anything is laughable. Petite is a proportion thing, not a weight thing.[/quote]

I don’t think an archeologist looking at the bones of two 5’4” women who had a weight difference of 50 pounds would find that much difference in their structure. Petite is about height, not weight. [/quote]

The proportion that is actually important for petite, is torso length, not height. Those are the difficult adjustments, hems are easy. A key to fit is underarms hitting at the correct level, waist placement, and rise in pants. A short woman with a long torso should buy regular clothes and have them hemmed. A short woman with a short torso should by petite clothes, and should find the hems pretty close to correct. Who knows if anthropologists care about these distinctions, but there is a physical difference that could be observed.[/quote]

Hmm. Im 5'4" with a short torso, and though I often need petite tops, I usually can't wear petite pants. They are too short in both length and rise. The rise is an issue because my torso is short from my waist to my shoulders, whereas from waist to crotch I'm more standard in length. [/quote]
