Vermount asked:


Petite must be for size 1-2, but not for obese teens or chubby girls.
To make costumers happy? :) For those who dont believe, go to France and you will see. France is country of not obese women. Just like all Europe. Petite sizes is for thin nice women there.
No, i have never see Petite size in America less than 3-5. Petite means chubby here. :)

I saw in a Seventeen magazine, that for petite girls like me that it would be cute if you wore boy clothes from the boy section @ Abercrombie instead of the girls section.
I’m also about 5′0 and not fat just normal sized for a girl like me.

I never understood why clothing advertisments only advertise clothes for petite women? Why is this?

tammy5992001 asked:


I never understood why retailers such as The Gap, Old Navy, and other famous retailers advertise clothing with small models when they sell larger sizes such as 14-16 for women also, so why don’t they have those women modeling the clothes as well? I love Gap clothes, but can’t stand the fact that they don’t show recognition for those who don’t wear a size 0-10 or whatever sizes they advertise!
