    I don't think the wrist size thing is at all an accurate measure of your frame. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's a complete myth.

    I've known way too many women with small hands and small wrists but large frames (as judged by shoulder width and hip width and other obvious visual gages). Conversely, I've known plenty of petite women with tiny frames and big hands and wrists.

    This is pretty interesting to me. I've always assumed I had a large frame.

    I just measured for the first time ever and my wrist is 5.75. I'm 5'4 1/2.

    Still don't think I have a small frame. So I'll give this measure a side-eye for now.

    5' 3" with 5.5" wrist, wish the rest of my body was in proportion with my thin wrists lol I can wear some petite clothes but find trousers always just slightly too short

    I tend to agree. My mother is quite a bit shorter than I am and she has large wrists. I have wide shoulders myself and this measurement says I'd be considered "small framed."

    I'm not petite...i'm just about 5'7 and I think i have a large frame because my ribs stick out (drives me nuts) but my wrists are smaller than 7 inches. i havent measured them, but i have small, weak wrists and small, annoying hands :)

    5 ft tall and just over 5.25 inches. I think I have a medium frame. I have unusually long, thin hands for my size though.

    I'm not petite--I'm 5' 7", but mine are 5.25"--small frame I guess?

    I'm just shy of 5ft7" and have 5" wrists, and am definitely not small framed, I am however a pear shape... conclusion? This wrist measurement thing is not very accurate!

    Close to 5'6 and what they said! lol
