I'm 5'3, and short legged, long torso. And I
agree, it does make buying pants and dresses
difficult. Have to hem up pants, take off some
of the waist to lower it.
Dresses with waist lines come up under my
breasts and look silly. Have to get those with
out belt lines, or separates. Mostly wear petite
jeans (even though I'm not at all petite in body)
and t-shirts around home.
