"Miss Peggy Petite, whose dancing numbers are a feature of the Wentworth Cabaret" - Sunday Times (Sydney),22/5/1927, illustrated - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/128516855 + several Trove references from 1927 onwards at the Wentworth Hotel. My absolute favourite ...
NEW ARTIST MAKES DEBUT. The Wentworth management is confident that it has found a rising star in Peggy Petite, the latest in cabaret artists to be discovered in our gay city. Peggy commenced quietly, but last night, at the gala dinner, showed herself to be a cabaret dancer of first brilliance. Peggy Petite can dance, looks pretty, and has a happy knack of making friends by creating that intimate atmosphere between patrons and artists. As she skips from table to table one feels that this piquant little girl is speaking to everyone individually. This is the secret of her success, and the success of every cabaret artist. The sympathy created beween the performer and the onlooker - personality - is the thing that counts most.
From Sunday Times(Sydney) 17/4/1927 p.15 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/128513975 -

Peggy Petite might be Peggy Buxom by todays standards? She looks very young but then that was the norm in the '20's.

I know where you're going with the Petite vs. Buxom, but that's not exactly the right word here, since we're judging by her legs noting they are not "rail thin" and that word is associate with ... other body parts. The thinness of too many public figures today seems driven by imitation of fashion models, but back to the 20's. This was the age of the flapper which was a period when thin was the style, but as you observe, thinness maybe wasn't as thin as today. As to young, I'm wondering if the short hair with the styled curls would NOT have been associated with (teenagers and younger) youth at the time. This gelled short hair may have said "style". She was going for a youthful persona judging from review with its line "piquant little girl" and she may have been accomplishing that effectively with a more narrow use of lipstick and the high waist and "ruffles" of her skirt. Maybe she is a forerunner of the cartoon character Betty Boop.

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Ha! I didn't realize [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] got their first! I think Peggy Petite must have been a stage name - I wonder what her real name was, and what happened to her?
