How do you change the css of node editing forms?

This ought to be really simple — all I want to do is increase the font size of the textfields in the standard node editing form (node/123/edit). This should be a trivial tweak of a stylesheet, and I’ve just spent the last hour adding different bits of css to my standard theme style sheet, with no effect. Nothing is affecting the style of the fields and I can’t even see (via browser Inspect Element) what stylesheet is setting the font size.

Has this changed in Drupal 7? I’m clearly missing something; can anyone offer advice?

    Arggh -- finally found it. I'm running a modified version version of Bartik for my site theme, and Seven came along as the admin/overlay theme. I can put changes into /themes/seven/style.css, and they work. It all makes sense now, I guess. Thanks for the pointers.
