I love the look of the BB - I think it's adorable! I also think it depends so much more on your style and how you wear it versus your weight/ height. If you love it, go for it

It depends on how the length of the strap works for you, and where the purse hits you, as strap is not adjustable. An Alma BB was the first LV bag I bought and sent it back (I"m 5'4") as I didn't like how it looked on me and returned it for the PM. We all have different styles and tastes, so I recommend you try it on first and see if you like it. Just suit yourself-doesn't matter if everyone else thinks it looks great if you don't feel confident--
Firstly, your measurements don't sound like a "big frame" to me. Secondly, I choose bags on what I like the look of and what I need to carry, not based on MY size. If you like it, and it works for your needs, go for it.
I'm plus size too, but also because I'm 170cm, I thought alma bb looked like a children's bag on me. I loved my fuschia bb, but have traded it for a vernis PM instead. Mostly because I thought the long strap was fiddly and the bag turns when I've carrying it on my shoulder. I feel that the PM is more proportionate to my frame
However as you are more petite I think you may be able to pull off the look? Best to try it and see how you like it in yourself.

Btw 63kg is really not heavy... I looked back at myself when I was 63kg and thought I looked the best then
now I'm way past that after two kids... Haha
Nah Small bags looks good in curvilicious woman❤️ And Large bag look amazing in petite woman❤️ And of corse you are wearing the bag so it's all up to you and whatever your ❤️ Desire. Think about The Olsen Twins they Rock those large bag and sunnies and IMHO it's bigger than them❤️
I am a very petite person and while I have some bigger bags for functional reasons, I know that smaller bags look better on me. I'm sure you're gorgeous and will look fine with any bag, but some bags are more flattering than others. If you can go into the store to try them on, that's best but if you're online-only, I'd get the PM as a safer choice.
I was 170lbs at 5'6 when I got my alma bb, and I love it and don't feel weird carrying it! I really hope to add another one to my collection at some point. Keep in mind that the bb is supposed to look small, just like the alma gm is supposed to look big, like that's their aesthetics, they're not meant to be for only petite people or only bigger people. I'd suggest going into the store and try on the different sizes, see what you're comfortable with. I don't think bb looks bad on "chubby" girls, in fact when combined with the right outfit I think chubby girls rocks them just as well - if not better in some cases - than smaller girls. It's all about your personal style
It's like a 1/2 ct diamond ring looks bigger on a size 4 finger than a size 8 finger but it doesn't stop a size 8 finger from wearing the diamond. Same here if you like the bag buy it and wear it proud. Honestly do you really care what any one else thinks? Maybe you do since you are posting this here? But you shouldn't.
For me personally I just don't think those BB's are worth the money they cost.

I think small bags look great on all body types: tall, short, curvy, slender. You sound like you would look beautiful with the smaller size! Why not try it on and post a modelling pic for opinions if you aren't sure? IMO the BB bags are supposed to look a bit "toy like" and that is part of the look so go ahead and rock it!
