What is petite?

[john_galt]

We use a number of words and acronyms; PSE, GFE, and petite. Recently I had a little problem with a member who disagreed with my use of the word "petite". Does that word denote short stature? I have seen providers that were 6 feet tall and petite. How about skinny?

I think of elvin when I think petite. Not tall, not plump. Of course plump is in the eye of the beholder but we do know what "tall" is. So what say you...

I say petite is 5'2" in height or less and 100 lbs. or less.

I have heard it describes a private portion of your anatomy but I am not saying that nor am I insulting you by just sayin I heard it.

There is a French word, "poser".

[catnipdipper]

racontour is more apt for my descrition

[fjensen]

Petite should be applied only to females under 5'4", although there should be a weight requirement, it is usually left as "slender" or "thin"

I would say Cadence is the definition of petite. She's tiny!
Is petite and spinner the same thing then?

I am more in the 5'4 or smaller with proportions to match group. I don't really see a lady who is 6ft tall and skinny as petite.

As I understand it, when it comes to women's clothing sizes petite means short. My ex was a petite and would drag me into petite stores. They were full of short women and they could be skinny or wide as the doorway.

I have always been called petite because I am short at 4'11" and when I go into clothing stores there is always a 10 Petite as well as a 10 regular and I can fit both with the exception of the length. I always thought that a spinner was a person who was both short and skinny.

Petite refers to stature, not size. Petite clothing is made for short women. Petite Misses' and Petite Women's clothing comes in a range of sizes, all designed to fit the woman who is 5'4" or under.

A spinner is a chick that is 5'2 or under and weighs around 100 - 110 lbs.
