will this form work for a petite(i.e. short waisted) person?

I don't see any specific adjustment for short or long waists. I think that the only way to get a form that really fits you perfectly is to get one of the kits that basically makes a form based on your body- sort of like paper mache'. On this form I had to put an old stuffed bra on it to get the proportions correct. I have thought of putting a spandex shift on the form and padding it to better mimic my long waisted but low busted shape. good luck.

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

Hi Tony, Thank you for your inquiry! I asked my manager to double check and he confirms that it is a perfect chair for a petite person. BisonOffice

Yes, it will work for a short person as the arms articulate and pivot at three different points. It works for both mouse and keyboard, as I have two, one for each arm. The height of the pad is also adjustable, so that will help if you are shorter as well.

Yes. It will take some adjusting to get the relationship between the shoulders and the hip bar properly set, and it will work for shorter people.

Unless your torso is very long and your legs are extremely short ... You should be fine.

Small/petite generally fits 33"-36" and is adjustable to that range. I can't speak to the other sizes.

The straps around the waist can only be made to go so small so I think if you are quite small this wouldn't work so well for you.

It might fit but honestly I did not find it to do what I wanted it to do. I wear size 8 and it was not snug on me. It provides some stability but not a lot. If you are very petite, it may be loose.

My best guess is that it will work. I am a 5'2" female and have the same waist. I do not struggle to put on the small shorts on, but I like them that way.

Nope! It seems to work better for shorter people (unless the tall person has a very tall desk!). I'm 5'4" and it works great for me & my shorter co-workers.

I would say it would work for a petite person. My mom is about 5.4 and 150.

I wouldn't be surprise if it doesn't fit you. I am much small frame and it fits perfectly.

Looks like you are considering a "fabulous fit" (company name) form. They are quite good and also quite expensive. When shopping for a commercial form make sure it has collapsible shoulders so you can get the garment on and off the form. (If you don't know what "collapsible shoulders" means, just look it up when researching on the net and you'll figure it out. You an also make your own form (Threads magazine has published several articles on how) or your can buy a form which is based on a casting of your body (google "my twin" for sources)

You adjust it to your measurement. If you're asking what is the minimum if you don't expand the form, I suggest you contact the company. I found them very helpful

The form will fit the waist well but you might have to do some type of stuffing or pinning for the legs to look right.

I am fairly small at 5'7 and at 140 lbs the smallest setting fits me. Probly a little smaller would be all right.
