It's time to celebrate being petite and proud! Embrace your unique size with confidence and join the movement on Petite and Proud Day.
Get ready to celebrate your petite stature and embrace your unique beauty on May 4 for Petite and Proud Day! This holiday was created to recognize and celebrate the diversity of body types, specifically honoring those who are on the shorter side. Did you know that the average height for women in the world is only 5'3"? So let's take a moment to appreciate all the amazing things that come with being petite – from being able to fit into smaller spaces to rocking high heels without towering over everyone else. So stand tall (even if you're not) and show off your petite pride!
