Why Partner with SDF Clothing?

Petite patterns are graded as their own proportional block — adjusted armhole depth, rise, and sleeve length — rather than simply shortened from a standard-size pattern, which tends to leave proportions off even when overall length is correct. GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, BSCI, WRAP, and ISO 9001 certification applies.

Getting petite proportions right takes an extra pattern-grading pass most standard programs don't need, which we build into development rather than treating as a size-chart edit. Minimum order is 300 pieces per style, with pattern development, grading, sampling, bulk manufacturing, and export documentation included.

Petite-specific programs still carry Bangladesh's full trade advantage once they move to bulk: EU duty-free access under Everything But Arms through November 2029 despite LDC graduation in November 2026, and a 20% US tariff cap from late 2025 that limits exposure versus Chinese-made alternatives facing Section 301 duties.

Common problems and how to avoid them

Approval path

Approve the fit on a petite fit model before bulk, and grade the pattern from that approved base size. Keep the regular and petite blocks as separate styles in your system so each gets its own size set and its own 300-piece minimum.

Buyer guide

What to specify when ordering petite clothing

Petite sizing is a separate fit block, not a shortened regular size. Proportions change in the shoulder, sleeve, torso and rise, so the pattern is adjusted in several places, not just the hem.

General industry guidance to help you write a tech pack. Not a quote.
Decide Why it matters Typical options
Height range Petite generally targets shorter customers, often under about 163 cm State the target height and fit-model height in the tech pack
Torso and rise Shorter body length with proportional waist and hip placement Reduced torso length, shorter rise, higher waist seam position
Sleeve and inseam Length plus the position of elbow and knee details Shorter sleeve with relocated cuffs, shorter inseam with adjusted knee shaping
Pattern Needs its own block, not a trimmed regular pattern Separate petite block and grade rules by size
Fit sample Judged on a petite fit model At least one fit sample on a petite form before bulk

At SDF Clothing the minimum is 300 pieces per style, FOB Bangladesh, with AQL 2.5 final inspection. Send your tech pack or reference sample and we quote within 48 hours.

Common questions

Is petite just a shorter version of regular?

No. A good petite fit also reduces torso length, adjusts the shoulder and moves details such as darts, pockets and cuffs. Only shortening the hem leaves the proportions wrong.

Can I make petite and regular in one order?

Yes, as separate styles or size runs. Each style carries its own 300-piece minimum, so plan the split by sales expectations.

What height should the fit model be?

Match the height you advertise for the range, and say it in the tech pack so every sample is judged on the same body.
