Any woman below 5'4" is considered petite. Standard sizes are not suitable for petite women, who usually have shorter torsos and arms. Also, it is impossible to find flattering jacket styles that make you appear taller, as standard jackets aren't built for petite specific proportions. In a nutshell, petite leather jackets are made to fit a smaller frame to make them appear lean and fit.
