I'm 4-foot 11-inches and overweight when I hit 95 lbs. I usually struggle to keep over 85 in the summer. I'm almost a perfect size 12 (children's) except my waist is too small and I rarely shop in the women's section any more. I worship at the altar of Nordstrom for its wonderful children's clothes and shoes. These series of articles is about shopping for the petite (not necessarily sweet) adult woman.
