"Last year, when I was very ill, the firemen came to get me at home. In the ambulance, a fireman told me "you can show off at school, and say you got the ambulance and the sirens!". Two minutes later, he asks me my date of birth... And he starts calling me "sir" (I was 23)!" - Emilie - 1m47
"Being petite is great because when it rains, you can get into the trunk of your car to put the groceries away, while everyone else gets wet!" - Céline - 1m48
"For my birthday, I'd spotted a gorgeous evening pantsuit. I took the petite size and despite this, we had to cut almost 23 cm off the hem, shorten the straps, and readjust the bust that was too wide. Ready-to-wear becomes made-to-measure when you're petite !" - Sophia - 1m59

Title
I'm 1.52 and 75 years old, and I drive a big 4/4 with no problems. to get out, I jump a bit, and that's when people are surprised and often laugh. from the back, given my slimness, I look like a teenager.
from the front it's different, when a tall person makes a remark about my height
answer: when you're small, you overcompensate and that gives you something that tall people don't have.
I don't have any hang-ups, the only drawback is that supermarket shelves are too high........
Bjour..je decouvre par hasard votre site....ca me par semble genial. I too was born " petite" ..1m52... but (but I was the talThet in cm2...I was already 1m45) and then I cheat on my identity card..... I put 1m56... I work in a college ...at the beginning ...from afar ....on took me for a collegian!...
I'm nearly 73 and I'm now 1.52 m tall! At the hairdresser's I always ask for a booster seat, and sometimes at the restaurant too!
And I don't drive without one!
My grandchildren overtake me today, it amuses them and me too😊
Bjr. I'm glad to see that made-to-measure is finally available for people under 1m55, but I think the real concern is not so much the cms but rather the proportions. If you're lucky enough to have long legs even though you're petite, there's no problem with aesthetics or hemlines...right? That's where the problem lies. Long legs, petites or tall = anything goes... 😉
Hello
Always a fan of your collections, I'm hoping for some nice surprises for this Fall-Winter 2022/2023.
I really like the black pantsuit,
Lengthening shape, but maybe a little wide in the pant legs,
Or should it be shortened, I'm 1m46, and belted at the waist. What do you think?
Thank you for your advice.
Best regards.
Petite Anne
