What kind of clothing would suit my body shape best?

The main problem is that my back arches in quite a lot (making my stomach and butt push out)! And on top of that, I have quite a short body and long legs, so I look overweight :/

I've always struggled finding clothing - does anybody have any advice for me?

Thank you :)

    My older cousin had and kind of still has this problem. She's very girly and stylish and colorful and likes pink but she has a lot of butt and stomach and her back arches a lot. I mean she isn't fat but she still has a little kid stomach I guess. She really likes skinny legs and form fitting dresses but it's just not for her or her built. So it's hard trying to find styles that fit her but looks flattering on her.

    My advice for you is that if you're comfortable with your long legs wear high waisted skirts. They are very flattering and look good on pretty much anyone. Wear skirts that poof out a little or a lot. And you could do the same with dresses. Stuff that poofs out at the waist or even a little high takes a little attention off of your romp and enhances your shape and beauty with flattery.

    Soo cocktail dresses will work for you and high waisted skirts or try 50s styled skirts as well if you're into the retro looks :) Skinny jeans will work for your long legs and for your arch you can try free flowing cardigan sweaters. You can find pretty ones at Lane Bryant or Woman within. These are sites for plus sized women but heres the thing I'm 15years old and well and I'm kind of tall and thicker than the average skinny girl but still considered skinny. I'm just more athletic and I still get my cardigans from there :) So trust me on this if you want. The cardigans are loose long and flowing. They can hang loosely at your sides and at your back but the sides are longer which allows you to tie it up into a knot in front of you making it look like a bolo jacket/cardigan. Those can go with almost anything and I get a lot compliments on them. Well sorry for this long answer. Hope I helped and good luck,
