Back in June I asked this question on the Style Your Life Facebook wall.
The first question was…
Short Torso
If you have a short torso, you probably have fairly long legs! Lucky Girl! So let’s focus on them!
Things you should be wearing:
1. Empire waist or drop waist dresses ( below) especially those with flowy fabrics! They will skim over your natural waist. You can go with a shorter version to still show off your long legs, or wear a long dress, the choice is yours.

2 V-necks and scoop necks draw the eye in a vertical line will elongate the torso. Sleeveless, 3/4 sleeve and long sleeves are all great!
Gap Rayon Racerback Tank Beautiful, semisheer premium knit. Halter straps with racerback. Deep scoop neck. Wide arm openings. Relaxed, loose fit. Hits at upper thigh.

3. Low rise pants and hip huggers = made for you. I great tip is to wear a shirt with a bit of a fluttery or longer length hem, this will bring the eye down past your waistline.

4. A long necklace, will elongating your figure.
Avoid:
1. High Waisted Bottoms,
2. No tops with wide horizontal neckline or puffy short sleeves.
3. Dresses, shouldn’t hit your actual waistline, another bad shillouter is a fitted, tube style dress.
