Saya suka sekali membaca fashion blog para wanita-wanita petite dari US dan UK karena gayanya yang keren dan elegant, sayangnya ukuran tubuh petite di Amerika masih cukup menjulang buat saya belum bisa teraplikasi secara maksimal. Sekedar informasi, di Amerika dan negara Eropa lainnya, petite ladies adalah mereka-mereka yang memiliki tinggi di bawah 165 cm, mayoritas sekitar 157 cm. Jadi, dengan tinggi 160 cm saja mereka sudah mengaku petite, lah bagaimana dengan saya yang hanya 152cm?
As you know, I love reading US/UK women petite fashion blogs women for their cool and elegant styles, yet unfortunately their size of petite body has another definition which I couldn't fully implement it. For information, in the USA and other European countries, petite ladies are those whose height are under 165 cm tall, while the majorities are ranging from 157-163 cm. So, a 160 cm beauty can still claim as a petite, wow, how about my 152cm then?
Perbedaan ini menjadikan ada proporsi tubuh yang tidak seimbang yang terkadang membatasi saya untuk bereksplorasi. Saya orangnya bukan extreme fashionista, doyan nekat dan hajar semua gaya terlepas cocok atau ngganya; melainkan cukup peduli dengan menggunakan pakaian yang sesuai proporsi. So, inilah dasar saya mencari pakaian yang pas untuk saya, disimak ya.
This kind of difference makes an unbalanced proportion which sometimes restricts me to explore more. Since I'm not an extreme fashionista who loves to wear anything despite whether it's good or not, instead I care enough about wearable suits. So, here's my basic knowledge to find clothes that fit me, tell me what do you think.
1. MENGENAL BENTUK TUBUH PETITE
(get to know petite body)
I found this from Stylish Planner, it helps us to determine our petite body shape with measuring some parts of our body:
 |
| Sumber: Stylish Planner |
- Ukur bagian pinggang tersempit/terkecil, yang selanjutnya menjadi titik nol kita mulai mengukur.
- Kemudian bagian terbesar dari dada, hitung (+ / -) selisih perbedaan antara pinggang dan dada.
- Terakhir, ukur bagian terbesar dari pinggul, kemudian kembali hitung (+ / -) selisih perbedaan antara pinggang dan pinggul. Kemudian perbedaan antara dada dan pinggul.
1. Measure the narrowest part of your waist, which is your zero point.
2. Then the largest part of your chest, take the +/- difference between your waist and chest.
3. Last the largest part of your hips, again take the +/- difference between your waist and hips. Then the difference between your chest and hips.
Note: 1 inch = 2,54 cm
RESULT
Ukuran tubuh saya secara berturut-turut, dada-pinggang-pinggul ialah 76,5 cm - 66,5 cm - 79 cm atau jika diubah ke ukuran inci menjadi 30 - 26 - 31 (hasil pengukuran pembulatan ke atas).
My measurements are as follow, chest-waist-hips are 76.5 cm - 66.5 cm - 79 cm. Converted into inch size to 30 - 26-31 (rounding up).
dada ke pinggang | chest - waist = +4 inch
pinggul ke pinggang | hips - waist = +5 inch
Dada - pinggul | chest - hips = -1 inch
Kalau dilihat dari tabel di atas dan dari hasil hitungan saya, maka hasilnya bentuk tubuh saya ini boyish atau straight (hampir menuju bentuk pear juga sih...). Lurus! Kurang lekukan donk ya, hahaha... Oh ya, ada yang mau mencoba juga? hitungan diatas sudah disesuaikan dengan ukuran tubuh wanita petite. Jadi kalau yang tinggi badannya di atas 165 cm cara penghitungannya berbeda, walaupun dasarnya sama..
According to the table above and my measurements, it shows that my body shape is boyish or straight (also you can say pear shape as well anyway ...). Straight! So, anyone want to try too? The measurement s already adjusted to the size of the petite woman's body. So for height above 165 cm would have different calculations are different, although basically has the same steps.

Note: Bentuk tubuh Straight atau Boyish juga disebut juga bentuk tubuh Rectangle, Ruler, juga dalam bahasa Indonesia dikatakan Persegi panjang, atau kalau menurut saya Kotak! Karena saya petite.
Straight or Boyish body shape is also referred as Rectangle/Ruler body type. |

2. MENGENAL PROPORSI VERTIKAL TUBUH PETITE
(Get to know Vertical Proportion of Petite Body)
(Get to know Vertical Proportion of Petite Body)
Yang kedua, mengetahui proporsi dari bawah ke atas bentuk tubuh kita juga mempengaruhi cara dalam berpakaian. Memangnya apa itu proporsi tubuh vertikal? Yaitu perbandingan antara jarak panggul - kepala dengan jarak panggul - ujung kaki. Konon, katanya bentuk tubuh yang dikatakan proporsional itu yang:
Knowing the proportion of our vertical body also affects the way in dressing. It's the ratio between the distance of hip to head and hip to floor. Once said to have a proportional body type is:

Jarak panggul - ujung kepala = jarak panggul - ujung kaki
hip - head = hip - floor |
Saya jadi penasaran mau mengukur juga proporsi tubuh saya. Cara ini saya dapat dari My Virtual Makeover yang membahas hal serupa. Mau tahu cara Mengukur Proporsi Tubuh Vertikal?
I found this step from My Virtual Makeover , let's check it by measuring.

1. Panggul ke kepala | hip - head - Ukur jarak garis panggul ke ujung kepala
2. Panggil ke lantai | head - floor - Ukur panhang kaki (dari garis panggul terlebar sampai ke lantai)
Berdasarkan perbandingan tersebut ditemukan tiga jenis proporsi tubuh; yang pertama, proporsi seimbang (Balanced Body), seperti yang saya sudah saya sebut sebelumnya dimana jarak (1) dan jarak (2) sama besar. Yang kedua, dimana hitungan (1) lebih besar ketimbang angka (2) yaitu badan torso lebih panjang ketimbang kaki (Short legs, long torso), dan yang terakhir angka (1) lebih kecil daripada angka (2), panjang torso lebih pendek ketimbang panjang kaki (Long legs, short torso).
Based on the ratio types of body proportions, there are 3 types; The first is balanced body, as I mentioned previously where the (hip-head) = (hip-floor), second is Short legs, long torso (hip-head) < (hip-floor), and the last is long legs, short torso (hip-head) > (hip-floor).

RESULT
Dari kepala sampai ke panggul adalah | head - hip = 66 cm
Jarak panggul ke lantai (tanpa alas kaki) | hip - floor = 86 cm
Jadi saya termasuk tipe nomor 3: Long legs, short torso. Memang sih, sehubungan dengan tipe nomor tiga ini, tips yang diberikan biasanya adalah bagaimana memberikan ilusi agar torso terlihat lebih panjang, tapi ada kalanya saya juga ingin mengekspos tipe tubuh saya ini. Yang penting, cukup nyaman dilihat dan tidak berkesan maksa.
So I'm in group 3: long legs, short torso. Well, I'm agree with the result and generally I will have to work on some illusions about how to make my torso look longer when dressing, but there are times I also want to expose my body type. I try to dress properly without limiting myself due this result, as long as I look good proportional enough for people's eyes, than I would say that's good.
Nah, begitulah kira-kira caranya, bagaimana dengan tubuh petite Anda?
So, how about you? Will you try this method?
