Darling, a word to the wise - if you don't like to iron I strongly suggest staying away from linen. Although, I am anxious to see your new wares.
I relate with your problems too, though. I'm starting to entertain the idea of a personal tailor... I recently purchased quite a few items from a fairly reputable store - in size 0p - the smallest size available; while the jackets/ shirts fit, the pants are frighteningly close to falling off my hips. If this is the smallest size I can find...what the heck are my options outside of the kiddie department?!
Oh, but I love linen so much! Yes, it is impossible to keep ironed, so it falls into the "get it cleaned" category so that I don't have to do the ironing. I do have a trouser press which helps if I remember to use it. (It takes 45 minutes to work on linen.) I'll ask Kevin if his connections can do women's pants. I suspect the answer is yes. If you have pants, the design of which you like, they can probably be duplicated in exactly your size and the fabric of your choice for quite a reasonable price.

So, suffice to say - I feel your pain, Dr. :)
