Hi Lynn! To figure out sizing, I check the size charts and read customer reviews, if I have never bought the brand before. If I am not sure, I sometimes order a couple of sizes. I buy from retailers that have free shipping and returns. Most retailers don't have much, if any, petite selections in stores, so the choices are mostly online for petites. For professional petite clothes, I like Talbots, and Tahari suits and separates (sold at LordandTaylor.com, Nordstrom.com and Macys.com).

Tackling tough sewing projects
Quote:
I've had friends joke that based upon my hourly pay at work I would have to sell the dress I just sewed for $1,000. I tell them it's therapeutic for me. I have physical limitations and cannot do nature hikes like I used to, so I revived sewing as my hobby. Even I get stuck from time to time on tough tasks and YouTube is my friend. I've even watched a video of a Pakistani women mitering a corner - she's in a cave, on the ground, with a hand-crank sewing machine and somebody is holding up a spotlight wired to a car battery to light her way! Amazing. I was able to figure it out once she showed me! Once you've sewn a knit, you'll have another lifetime skill. Don't quit sewing! If you slow down on collecting videos, then you'll be able to collect fabric
