i dont think there isnt a shop in doha that doesn't offer clothing for petite women. in fact shopping for anything over a size 12 - 14 (UK) could be a complete nightmare.

yes you'll have no trouble what so ever finding any kind of western clothing, and so is the case with wearing jeans and t-shirts for shopping. anything that doesn't expose too much skin (ie, too much leg, too much cleavage, too much torso, etc..) is perfectly acceptable.

There is nothing wrong with liking shirts with comic book heroes on them. :P You should see my underwear. :D

Bullshake, you shouldn't have a problem shopping here at any of the stores. Things do tend to be petite. The only thing you will have to watch for is the length of pants (I find them perfect, but I am 5'6)but taking them to a tailor is easy and cheap.

DG there is no way you're 5'6 because I am 5'5 and I am taller than you.

In your dreams, DG. I wear flats ALL the time. I only wore heels with you TWICE, both times at the Rydges. By the way, I was under impression that you had work to do.

I do, but I don't want to do it. And I am positive that I am taller than you. We will have to measure. But I was measured for skis in November and unless I've shrunk I was 5 ft 6 and a half than.
