bones also play a factor in weight + size.

Oh, good. I thought I was getting a little on the big side there. Although I'm only like 5'1 or like 5'2 ish... a size 27 seems a little big for that.. I have friends who are like 5'8 and 5'9 and can wear my pants... except for the length =S LoL.

I don't particularly like wearing skirts in general, oh, and never wear mid-calf skirts/dresses with boots!

i'm only a little bit more than 5'2. yeah, sometimes i feel really big b/c a lot of the taller people i see wear the same size or smaller.

Try wearing maxi dresses to cover your legs

While Keira Knightly and Rachel Bilson look great in their flowing maxi dresses, this shape can make a short woman look even shorter and larger. Choose a style that is well cut and avoid tent-like diaphonous skirts, to prevent being swamped.
Shorter women should avoid being drowned by your maxi by making sure your dress is well cut and in proportion with your petite frame. Keep things fitted up top and avoid an overly voluminous skirt.
"To stop a full, long skirt from swamping you, teem it with chunky heels and a fitted waistcoat." is the fashion advice from In Style magazine.
A closer fitting empire line will flatter most figures, and if you need to disguise a big tummy then a drape of material at the front will cover the lumps and bumps.
With careful style selection a maxi dress can add extra height rather than take it away. A sleeker, stylish A-line or bias cut, is more complimentary for shorter women.
For extra height, dresses can be accessorized with patent platforms, wedges or feminine toe-covered sling backs. Set-off these dresses with long, chunky jewellery and this season's oversized shades and handbags and you're set for Summer 2008!

i totally know what your saying... alot of my friends are like that too. tha'ts why i love going shopping myself and not having people say, "i don't know... does it look good... but you can see my stomach..." and things like that. especially when we're trying on the eact same thing and size.

oh yeah i've seen girls like that. i think girls with long skinny legs should wear skirts that are right above the knee. if it's too short it'll just make them look even longer. or maybe those long flowy skirts. they use to sell nice ones at aritiza: talulu babaton ones
