Other than with a marquee, how would you dress this body shape?

[ZZMum]

Please please style gurus help me -- spent a depressing 2 hours trying on clothes last night and have come to realisation that I do not suit any of them....

I have the weirdest most horrible body shape ever...

5'8" -- very pear shaped (40" Hips) with a flat stomach and 30FF chest which no one can quite believe as I am quite flat chested to look at.. worst worst feature are my legs whcih are so short I was called penguin at school and are FAT FAT FAT... I can not show of legs as they are hideous and trousers seem to make them more obviously short and fat.. trunks do not come close to these "beauties"... top off my huge feet... quite broad shoulders as well... at best I suit wrap dresses with boots but I can not wear these all the time... well actually I do, but need some advice on what else I can wear... any advice or am I doomed just to look pants?

Thanks for any advice!!

i think skirts are ok if they end at the knee (narrow bit) - they are more flattering than summer trousers (floaty, or cropped etc) - just make sure you choose a size that skims rather than too tight or too loose - i reckon a firm cotton stylee from white stuff or similar rather than floaty. Choose a dark colour such as chocolate or dark grey?

then t-shirts fairly fitted but not tight and thin jacket/cardi of any style/colour you like

hope that helps!

and very expensive sandles, bag and sunglasses of course!
