Petite size

Have you ever heard someone say "petite size"? This means clothes made specifically for people who are a little shorter and smaller than other people. Just like how shoes come in different sizes, clothes come in different sizes too!

For example, if you're a grown-up, you might fit into "regular" size clothes, which are made for people who are a certain height and weight. But if you're a little shorter or smaller, then "petite" size clothes might fit you better!

Petite size clothes have been made to fit people who are a bit shorter than the average height, and usually have shorter sleeves, pant legs, and lower waistlines so they fit better on you. It's important to wear clothes that fit you properly so you feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing!
