An ex of mine used to get skinny shamed all the time. I use to tease her about her height (5') in good fun, but I never made fun of her for being petite. She struggled with it constantly. She was always between 90 to 110 lbs. Even caused pregnancy complications. So these hambeasts who say they're petite, they're disgusting.
On a lighter note, have always had a thing for petite women. So hot.

I'm 5' tall 86lbs and I already steer clear of "petite" sizing if it's not from an asian online store. They tend to run boxy and WAY oversized.

"Petite" just means "short". "Petite" has a shorter rise and waist, narrower shoulders, and shorter arms/legs than misses, but is cut to a misses (not juniors) curve. In comparison, a "misses short" pair of pants will have the same rise as "misses" but shorter legs.
"Petite plus" doesn't make much sense, really, because the issues of rise/waistedness become much less...discernible...as you go up in sizes. Really, they could just be "plus short" and save a section. It causes serious fit issues apart from height for slim and regular women because their bodies are less mooshy, and a 1" difference is large, percentage-wise.
