Fifty percent smaller
Half-size describes something that is half the dimensions or scale of a standard version: a half-size violin for young students, a half-size replica of the original sculpture.
In clothing, half-sizes are women's dress sizes designed for shorter torsos, falling between regular sizes.
The term can also function as a noun: Do you have this in a half-size?
