Advice and Information for Petite Women

How do you determine what size you are in numbers (as in sizes 0-14)?

Petite Sizes
AshleyVictoria88 asked:


I’m planning on ordering a wool coat from Victoria’s Secret online. I tried some wool coats on in department stores to get a feel for what size I would wear, which turned out to be a medium. What dress size would correspond to that (Victoria’s Secret sizes coats in dress sizes instead of S, M, L, XL)? Also, how do I know if I should get a petite or regular size coat?

    Victoria’s Secret runs large just so you know.

    This is their size chart:

    XS XS S S M M L L
    0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14

    Thus, if you are a smaller medium, go for an 8. But if you are a M in Juniors, opt for a 6.

    Petite refers to length and proportions according to height. If you are short, go for petite.
