I have short stumpy legs and a long body. Needless to say I want to look the opposite. Any tips or tricks on disgusing this defect?

Trousers that are as long as you can get without actually falling over them, and then heels. Other than that I have nothing - you need Gok or someone.

Me too so will look forward to hearing ideas!

I find the best thing is keeping slim as possible and wearing short ish skirts and 3/4 length tops. I still look like an oompa loompa.

Uggs and ballet pumps look bad. But so cosy so I allow for the fact that they look awful.

Stilts.

Hee hee tidey I thought of stilts too.

I have the opposite problem. Too tall and there is nothing I can do to look smaller short of drastic surgery!

Not fair you tall people took great no matter what. I look/feel like a potato on (short) cocktail sticks.

And at least tall people dont have cankles like most shorties do too.
Or have to snip the last 2 inches off their petite jeans as they are still too bloody long.

But tall people can still look like potatoes on cocktail sticks. Just bigger potatoes on longer cocktail sticks. Beleive me!

However I can see this isn't helpful. Sorry

No tips I'm afraid.

The longer the cocktail stick the less potato-y the effect though OrmIrian
