Hello. I'm 5ft nothing and am looking for a new, more "glamorous" wardrobe. I've been retired for a couple of years now and have been wearing everything I already own. But now they and I are starting to feel tatty. Any suggestions for online shops that might have what I want? Preferably retailers that scale down rather than just make things shorter. Oh and do nice winter clothes too; I find spring and summer so much easier! TIA everyone smile

Boden are well proportioned and usually good quality .
Winter clothing will probably be in the sale by now .

I'm 5ft and find the Boden petite range is perfect for me.
Mostly the arms are usually too long for me, Boden is just right.

Wallis also do a small petite range.

I find Uniqlo to best fit for my small frame. I wear their small and extra small.

I find the Boden petite range very good too. If you are looking for trousers Robell do petite in their Marie and Bella range. I have just got 2 pairs of their Rose 09 trousers. They are ankle grazers on taller people but as I’m only 5 foot they are perfect on me as a standard length.
