Help me find some nice clothes

I’m really struggling to find clothes that I like at the minute. I think I have a strange body shape so that’s not helping. I’m hourglass but my waist is quite high and although for practical reasons I would be better of inn trousers I look better on dresses or skirts. Problems I have with dresses is I think my body is longer than my legs (iyswim) and the fall shorter than where they should and you can see my bum. I’m 26 and djnt want to look like a frump 😳

If you have a high waist then your body must be shorter than your legs?

I don’t think so I don’t mean literally I don’t think😫. My mum has a high waist and my dad a longer body and I seem to have got both. That’s the only thing I can put dresses and skirt coming up short down to anyways as in only5’6 so not short but not tall either- and I also find tops and jumpers are can come up abit short

Men usually have longer bodies than women.
There's a formula somewhere for calculating if you are shortwaisted, shortbodied and so on. Something like this:mport.com/blog/vertical-body-shape/
Some shops tend to have shorter clothes. Try shopping in shops clothes that stock clothes that suit your body type.
