What is the exact definition of having a petite figure? I'm naturally pretty little, but I've never known if I would classify as petite or not, because I'm a little bit on the tall side.

It's having a small frame and Danity build. However, as far as clothes it means it's made for shorter women

My definition on it means someone who is quite small and fragile. I went to school with girls who were 4.9 and 80 or small they were just small. But weighting 120 or even 110 is normal depending on height

I'm 5 feet y'all & when shopping like jeans or something they usually have the P for petite but I am curvy like I have a butt thighs & hips but because I'm so short I'm still classified as petite. I pretty sure it just means stature & not if your thin.

I work in retail & petite just means short. Like 5'4 & under it has nothing to do with weight because they even make plus size petite clothing :)
