What is petite?

[conocomedor]

Omahan got the definition exactly right for clothing. The height tops out at 5"3", so Fjensen is right with under 5'4". Besides height it is usually implied that they are also slender/slim and smaller in stature. The only reason I know this is because my mother owned a womens clothing store and was a seamstress.

Alley I think the only thing I would add to a petite girl to make her a spinner would be the ability to spin (with or without basket)! That just makes my pants tingle at the thought!

You've all got it wrong. Petite is a pitcher for the New York Yankees.

When I think 'petite', I think short and relatively thin
(like me; 5'2", 100 lbs)
I wouldn't consider a tall girl to be petite ever...
I would just consider her thin.

I always thought you were a taller gal. You sure have some big guns for a small girl. :-)

Is petite and spinner the same thing then?

Personally, I think spinner is more related to weight...Like, perhaps you can have a spinner who is average in height?..
I don't really know, 'technically'

A spinner is someone like me......5'1 or 5'2 and weighs no more than 105 pounds. Even if most of my weight is in my boobs. lol

lol Really?..Weird.
No, I'm just a little thang.
My mom is only 4'11...and wears a bigger bra than I do!

Cat pwned this thread. I'm just sayin'.

Petite just means 'small'. That just means that something is smaller than something else...pretty hard to define. Then you have situations like the above poster with GRANDE boobs on a petite frame. She's big and small at the same time! Hahaha

'Petite' and 'blonde' are feminine. 'Petit' and 'blond' are masculine, IIRC.

Like Christine, short and thin is always what I think when I hear the word and that's the type build I love.
