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.
