Talk:Petite sizes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't understand how this is biased. It is FACT that petite sizes are cut for women 5'4 and under and it is FACT that young people don't have a lot to choose from if they wear petites Writerchick 02:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Where's the POV? --Usgnus 21:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I also agree, but petite sizes (across UK, Europe and in my experience the US) usually advertise as being for women 5'3" and below.

This is very annoying to the extremely petite of us- I'm 4'11" so things are still too big! It is true about the old fashioned nature of items too. Also I agree about the point that retailers don't recognise that different ethnic groups might tend to be shorter and slimmer, and they don't target their advetising. LouiseCooke

I think this page is accurate. It is not biased at all based on my experience as a petite.--Ntuitive1 13:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed the POV tag, since there were no arguments in its favor, even from its originator, User:Fightindaman, whose own credentials for assigning POV to this article seem -- imperfect. ;D But maybe we should include some data about the poor selection in petite sizes? It might be a waste of time, but it could also change things for the better. WillowW 19:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
