   Petite means short and relatively skinny (but mainly short)

   For bra size- go to Victorias Secret, they’ll measure for you. For reg jeans sizes, etc. it’s gonna have to be trial and error. Good luck and congrats on losing the weight and your new baby!!

   under 5′4 is petite. it has everythign to do with height and nothign to do with weight (I’m talking clothes here), there are some rather large petite sizes. So if you are under 5′4 you should be shopping in the petite section, if not then don’t.

   Get measured for a bra BUT realize you still must try everything on. Sizes are not consistant at all.

   go to victoria’s secret; tell them ur shopping for a bra and ask them if they will measure your bust and see what bra size you wear.

   Usually petite means short and little all around. For help with the bra situation I would check Victoria Secret or another store that they could measure you at.
