Petite is small. In ready to wear clothing there are junior petites and there are miss petites. The junior sizes are the odd numbered sizes such as 7, 9, 11, etc. The miss sizes are the even numbered sizes. Usually in a petite size the waist is raised about an inch in a dress or a top and the hems are a little shorter.
