However, I do walk sometimes (usually with a cane), and I'd like to get clothes that will work for me whether I'm sitting or standing. I also am short (about 5'1") and wear mostly petites (when I can find the right styles in my size). I know I need to get jackets/blazers that are short, but I'm not sure how short they should be or whether they always should be worn open (as opposed to buttoned). I find that jackets that look terrific buttoned when I'm standing tend to bunch around my middle when I sit for a while. I'm also having problems just finding stores that sell clothes that will fit me. (Currently, I usually wear 4P or 6P in most apparel, but occasionally I need a larger size because I'm bigger in the hip than on top. As for shoes, I have narrow feet and tend to step right out of wider shoes. Fortunately, I haven't had a problem with swelling feet; so I don't think I need wide shoes. Your site is about the only thing I've been able to find to offer guidance on this subject. Thank you for creating the web site. I hope you can help direct me toward additional information and/or places where I can find the kind of clothes I need. I spend most of my time sitting, either in a wheelchair or at a desk.
