"little less than" meaning "The woman’s nose is a little less than perfect." It means the woman's nose is not perfect at all or just not that perfect? What about "The woman's nose is less than perfect?" = far from perfect? Thank you so much!

It could also mean it's not perfect at all - the "a little" could be a kind of sarcastic politeness - but it's impossible to know without seeing the context. If the person is understood to be beautiful then the sarcasm wouldn't be implied.

...just not that perfect for the first one, and far from perfect means, not even close to perfect
