Maybe try taking out the shim... I have really small hands with short fingers - wear xs gloves women's... but I can shift on ultegra shift levers without shims.
you may want to get the short reach shimano r700 shifters, a lot of women like it.

+1 on the R700s.
However, the LBS may not be willing to swap them out for you, especially since you've ridden the bike a few times. It's an expensive fix (like $400).
If you take the shim out, the problem becomes reaching the brakes. Personally, if I had to choose, I'd choose having trouble shifting...Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
