Little lady from Belize (3)

I believe the answer is:

liz

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little lady' is the definition.
'Liz' can be an answer for 'lady' (short for Elizabeth). I am not certain of the 'little' bit.

'from belize' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LIZ' is hidden in the letters of 'belize'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liz that I've seen before include "Short for Elizabeth" , "Taylor or Hurley?" , "Elizabeth (dim.)" .)
