Activewear for Petite Frames
Most activewear is graded for a 170cm body and scaled down from there, which is how petite frames end up with leggings that bunch at the ankle and shorts that sit halfway to the knee.

01 Mid Waist 7/8 Merino Leggings · Caviar
Full length if you are about 5'5
Designed as a 7/8 on an average-height body, which means on a shorter frame it sits at the ankle instead of above it. Start here if you have been buying full-length leggings and cuffing them.
02 Mid Waisted Merino Shorts – 4" · Caviar
Our shortest inseam
A 5 inch short can sit awkwardly close to the knee on a shorter thigh. This is the one that does not.
03 Merino Sports Bra - Crossback · Caviar
Graded from an AU 4
The smallest bra we make, with slim 1cm straps that do not overwhelm a narrower shoulder.
04 Merino Tank - Classic (V2) · Caviar
Also starts at a 4
Cut short enough through the body that it does not swallow a shorter torso, and long enough to stay tucked.
We do not currently cut a dedicated petite length, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. What this edit gives you is the pieces in the range that genuinely work on a smaller frame, with the honest detail on how each one falls.
How these actually sit
- Mid Waist 7/8 Leggings. Designed as a 7/8 on an average-height body. Under roughly 5'5" they read as a full-length legging, sitting at the ankle rather than above it. If you have been buying full-length leggings and cuffing them, start here.
- Mid Waisted 4" Shorts. Our shortest inseam. On a shorter thigh a 5" short can sit awkwardly close to the knee, and this is the one that does not.
- Mid-waist sits a little higher on a shorter torso. On both the Mid Waist 7/8 Leggings and 4" Shorts, the mid-rise waistband tends to land between a mid and high waist on a smaller frame, so you get slightly more coverage than the name suggests.
- Sizes from an AU 4 on the Crossback Bra and Classic Tank.
Petite fit, answered
Do you make a true petite length?
Not yet. The 7/8 legging is the closest thing we have, because on a shorter frame it falls as a full-length legging. If a dedicated petite cut is what you actually want, tell us, because that feedback is what decides what we make next.
What is the smallest size you make?
Most styles start at an AU 4, including everything in this edit. The Straight Leg Leggings, Fitted Tee, Long Sleeve Tee and Medium Impact Racerback Bra start at a 6.
