I think Coco Chanel may have been petite also. I can't seem to find a confirmation of her height, but she is often referred to by people who knew her as being "small", "tiny", and having a "small boyish figure". Even Karl Lagerfeld has been quoted to say:
"I love a tiny woman in Chanel. Coco herself was tiny, so you don't need to be a giant to look good in these [designs]."
That looks so much like the movie that came out earlier this year on a cable channel, but much better of course.
Audrey Tautou is 5'3"
Hooray she is petite!
