Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing 'petit'
The final 't' in 'petit' is silent, so it sounds like 'puh-TEE'.
Omitting 'l'avoir'
You need 'l'avoir' (to have it) to ask if they possess the item in that size.
Incorrect 'en'
Use 'en' (in) before 'très petit' to indicate the size category.
A small cultural note
While 'très petit' is understood, many French clothing sizes are numerical (34, 36, 38) or use international abbreviations like XS, S, M, L.
