Well, the word "petite" is french for "small." A petite person is usually on the shorter side, but it basically means just all-around tiny... shorter than average, and also thin. If you shop for clothes in the petites section, you'll find that everything is just scaled down for smaller people... pants, sleeves and tops are all gonna be shorter. If you're 5'0" and 120, then yes, that would be considered petite.

This is really the only specific thing I can find, and I would consider you petite because your height.
"If your height is 5'4'' or less you are considered petite by fashion standards. However, a lot of smart merchants in cities such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles have standard sizes for women 5'5'' or so, instead of the longer pants in department stores."
