I am a size 1 Juniors. The latest (?) tread in junior jeans and pants are hip hugger bell bottoms, and baggy (Mom jeans?). NOOOO, I don't want to go back to that. Always had to wear a belt with hip huggers. No booty. Wore Platform shoes with bell bottoms because I stepped on my pants. No thank you, to all of the above. Just give me straight leg jeans or pants.
Sure, XS leggings fit me but that is all i can wear? Missy size? I would probably have to go down to a Petite 00. Great selection, never mind expense, with that. Not getting into my 32DD bra.
Platform shoes and bell bottom jeans are straight out of the early 70's. You sound like the owner of the yoga studio I go to. She's about 4' 10" and 90 lbs. Don't know how old she is.
A gentleman never asks and a lady never tells.
Good luck.
Maybe look online for some Asian brands with a US presence? People tend to be smaller than in North America and their clothes are sized accordingly. Or if you don't have a seamstress/tailor, find one and get everything altered.
You can try buying vintage. High or mid waisted straight leg pants were the predominant style for a long time in juniors too, and there were more petite women to wear them.

This is a great idea! And some of the styles from Asia are more stylish than what US designers are offering. I was looking at winter coats online recently, just to see what was out there, and the by far most appealing ones were from an Asian company, that didn't make them in average-to-tall N. American/European sizes.
If the OP could find some of those sources, she might uncover a gold mine!
Or make a trip to Taiwan or Hong Kong. Really high quality, for low prices, classic styling. Hint: Taiwan is much cheaper for lodging than Hong Kong.

Any women my size and age? What do you do?
I am 5'2", weighing between 90-100 lbs, and 70 years old. I wore women size 0 or 2 comfortably when I was at ~ 100lbs. When my weight dropped to 90 lbs (with high protein, low carb diet + at least 1 hr daily exercise to keep blood sugar low), I had to stitch in ~ 1" the waist bands of all my pants. It took some work but gave me the option to unstitch them when I can get back to 100lbs.
I never like junior style clothing. I think women size 00 would likely to fit but have not tried to buy them.
I just did a quick search on amazon for women size 00 jeans and found quite a few of them which look quite nice. This one is on sale for $33.90
I have NEVER seen 00 or even 02 at Kohl's! I used to buy (before the sequins, ripped knees, skinny jeans) in the girl's dept. I try to take care of what I have since it's all cheapo junk now
