Hi Miss Commando,
I've just given a relevant answer to Sonny's question above so I've copied and pasted it here. My wife's also 5 feet exactly.
We used to have real problems finding clothes in the shops unless we bought childrens' clothes (Age 12 -13 usually). Underwear such as bras caused a real problem. Then we found a very good firm called Simply Yours (I think they are in Oldham) and my wife now gets all her underwear on-line from them. Their on-line catalogue is very good and so is their service.
We also buy clothes for my wife on-line from Mean and Green (in Birmingham I think). They are an army surplus store but don't be put off. They do very good cargo trousers, sweaters, jackets, gloves etc which my wife likes.
Hope that helps.
