OT clothes sizes and shopping

Sears only carries a few items in the stores, hardly representative of
what's in the catalogues. I think it's unlikely Anne will find much in
the petite cuts, which are covered extensively in the catalogue.

Anne, it's also easy to search their site online, there is a choice on
the home page to see just the "petite" items, and if you register you
can create a model with your proportions and try the clothes on it. (I
was doing this the other day while considering bathing suits. Technology
lets you see just how awful you'll look in the suit without the real
life dressing room horror!)

Thanks, we do have one, but as I've mentioned I dislike shopping, hence the
temptation to order online. I suspect you're right though and I should do
it, then order online in future, I'll keep it in mind on something I can get
an evening pass for (you know what I mean have DH mind the kids whilst I do
something for me).

Ah well, maybe I won't take that evening trip, creating a model sounds fun
though.

I'm also a petite, and I usually find something I like. I'm not terribly
picky though. ;-)
