This guide is packed with all of the answers you’re looking for as well as our top picks that will help you embrace your proportions with confidence.

What Is Petite?
When we say petite, we’re typically talking about someone who is 5’3″ and under – but it’s not just about how tall you are! Petite also refers to having a smaller frame so you may find that regular fit clothing often have sleeves or trousers legs that are too long.
For example, you may have a longer torso but shorter legs so will need to look out for petite sized bottoms. All of our trousers and jeans at PixieGirl are made to fit a 27″ inside leg so that you can find your perfect look!
This is now where PixieGirl comes in! We don’t just remove length on standard fit specifications, we reposition the entire garment to fit the proportions of a petite frame.
