I am a similar shape @Smokemeakipper42 I too have the torso length of a much taller person. These are things that look good on me (note, despite the shortness of my legs, they are in decent shape, it's just my boob/tummy sitch which causes the grief).
My trick is to show my ankles and wrists - to give the illusion of height, and focus on the narrowest parts of my body.
Soft material peg/tapered shape trousers (ankle cuffs) - always cut just above the ankle.
With loose trousers - tops that cut in a straight line between waist and hip.
With tighter trousers - tops that cut at the bottom of my bum.
I get all smart coat sleeves taken up - to cut just above the wrist (gives me the impression of longer limbs, and I hate the sensation of baggy wrists).
3/4 length sleeve tops, or shirts rolled (carefully and ironed in place) to just below the elbow.
Visible thin layering - a very thin/fine camisole, under an oversized but thin v-neck cardi or jumper.
Fitted t-shirt, but always worn with a soft/light boyfriend shape blazer - I never take that blazer off.
Wear colours that suit me next to my face - I like to wear all black, but it washes me out, so I often wear a cashmere snood, or similar scarf (in summer) in a rose pink, pale blue, etc. which is more flattering on my skin.
