well most people have the wrong preception of "petite" maybe they never
looked in that dept but i know... ive seen up to size 12 there..
"petite" only means "short" and does not mean thin.

That is so true buttons, and I wish we could do something to help all
these teenagers that do not know this or do not believe this.

You're right, Buttons. A lot of people think "petite" means "thin," but
they also think it means "little," as in the small-boned, flat-chested,
Twiggy look of the '60s.

I always thought of it as meaning "short," at least as far as clothing
sizes goes.

Ok let me clarify something before I get anymore emails here lol
I am very content and happy being chubby, I like myself the way I am, if
no one else likes me because I am chubby then they are so not worthy of
my time of friendship... ok lurkers..got it?? I'm fine, I like being a
BBW...

lol jean... yea im short but like pretty big boned.. and certainaly not
twiggy

oh yeah and I'm petite too..all of 5'2..short n fat and I like myself!!

small boned? big boned ? sorry really no such thing,,just so you know

yea i agree with ya ccp.. everybody comes in different shapes and sizes
is that what not makes all unique? other than our innersole?

love... It does not change the type of person you are.

Anyone who doubts these statistics, here's a little FYI:

Q: What is considered to be the average size woman in America? --Debbie,
Grand Prairie, Texas

A: According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the
average U.S. woman is 5' 3.7 (162 centimeters) tall and weighs 152
pounds (69 kilograms). This corresponds to a Body Mass Index of 26.3
kilograms/meters², which is slightly less than the average man's.

And also, do a search for average dress size for the American woman and
it'll come up at 14. That is the average size across the board; it's not
what the fashion industry thinks should be the ideal weight. Not
everyone CAN be a size 2. We don't have the skeletal structure for it.
Doesn't mean we're fat, though, not by any stretchmark of the
imagination.

forgot my manners.......good morning everyone.

I'm a squirrel not a mouse lol

and yes there is a difference pappa...try buying a bra!
why do u think there is a 30<small boned> and a 36<large boned> for? lol
or shoe sizes...5'2 and size 5 shoe are so cute <small boned> then 5,2
and size 11 feet well....<large boned> can u not tell the difference? or
