My way of dealing with oddly sized women's clothing is to go to
the store and raid the men's department. Men's size small sweaters have
arms that are long enough and shoulders narrow enough. Men's jeans
come with a nice long long inseam (34"). Men's shirts? Fine. A
friend gave me half a dozen because the sleeves were too short
and some were too small around the middle.Men's sneakers are
nice and wide around the toes. It is nicer to the ego to get size six
sneakers that feel comfortable than size nine "for ladies".

Skirts are easy. Forget sizes. Go for pockets.

Gentlemen, feel free to raid the ladies' dept. Tell them booter said it
was OK.
