Sarongs my mother bought me

Looking for suggestions for online clothes stores for women's summer wear.

Hi Hivemind, can you help me help my special lady friend find some things to wear this summer. She's in her 40s, very petite (small sizes needed) and in the Midwestern US. We're going virtual shopping this week and we're having a hard time finding good options.

Looking for something stylish, small and suitable for hot weather.
Online stores which deliver to the midwestern US are essential due to Covid.

I know what we're looking for is a bit vague but that's just because we're seeking inspiration.
What are your go to places if you're over 40 or small in stature or both?
All suggestions welcome, the more the merrier.

Thanks for helping me cheer her up a little.

Others will surely have better ideas, but imo J. Crew and Ann Taylor are both ageless and have small sizes.

Loft petites does pretty good and has some very small sizes will ship to midwest US. I'm about 5'0'' and have fit them in a range of sizes depending on my wieght. My mom who is 4'9'' and can often fit in the petites from there as well.

Talbot Petites are a go-to for a lot of smaller women I know. They're having a summer sale right now, and the stuff looks nice and cool.

I just got a nice caftan from Unique Tunic on Etsy, and am eyeing some similar things at other Etsy shops.
