The "petite section" refers to a specific category in clothing designed for women who are shorter in stature, typically under 5'4". This section offers garments that are proportionately adjusted in length and fit, ensuring a more flattering appearance for petite individuals. In the petite section, items such as dresses, pants, and tops are tailored to accommodate shorter body frames. Brands often label these collections as petite to help shoppers easily identify suitable options. This allows women to find stylish clothing that fits well without the need for extensive alterations.
