We reliably extend the stellar mass-size relation over 0.2 = 10(10.3)M(circle dot) and flattens at lower masses, regardless of whether quiescence is selected based on star-formation activity, rest-frame colours, or structural characteristics. This flattening occurs at sizes of similar to 1 kpc at z = 10(9.5)M(circle dot) and quiescent galaxies with stellar masses >= 10(10.3)M(circle dot) have undergone significant size growth since z similar to 2, as expected; however, low mass galaxies have not. Finally, we supplement our data with predominantly quiescent dwarf galaxies from the core of the Fornax cluster, showing that the stellar mass-size relation is continuous below 10(7)M(circle dot), but a more complicated functional form is necessary to describe the relation.
