How to dress for body type

Hi I'm Kishea and I have a LOT of trouble dressing for my body type. I am 5'6 and 112 pounds. I have long, thin arms and legs, a small bust and a lil hips but no thighs. I also have small wrists and ankles so my hands stand out a lil as well as my feet because I wear and 8 1/2 to a 9. I was wondering that if anyone could help AT ALL I would appreciate it sooo much because I can't seem to find any way to dress that doesn't make me look invisible or like a walking stick. ANY advice would help!

Also, you could always add a little weight by eating a little more.
I'm pregnant now, so I have been eating more and getting a little heavier anyway, but there have been times in my life when I wasn't pregnant where I didn't always eat enough and got a little too skinny, and then I would eat a little more.
But you don't sound too bad. If you feel that your weight isn't quite enough for your height, then just eat a little more.
I hope that helps you a little! Good luck!

Don't go along with fashion trends because what is a fashion trend anyway?, there are so many different trends!
Buy clothes that you are comfortable with that you feel look good on you.

It is impossible for me to tell you what to wear, I never tell females I know anyway what to wear, but since we don't know what you look like, it is even harder for people to give you suggestions.
Just buy what looks good on you, that is good fashion.
Best of luck young lady, and let folks here know how it goes with you in your fashion decisions.

Kishea, a close friend of mine also has dealt with being very thin and about your height. Although you could take advantage of your slimness to wear most current fashions, which really are built for people on the thinner side, you could also choose fabrics that are not too droopy so as not to accentuate being angular (if you are angular).

You could wear a cute sleeveless cotton shirt in the summer, for instance, with loose drawstring cotton or linen pants. For a bit more bulk, pull on a pair of jeans or overalls. These are just ideas. You have to take the main idea behind the suggestions and apply it to the fashions and outfits that you enjoy the most.

oh, in the winter, a sweater that is tailored (fits your figure somewhat) but has bulk (maybe a cabled sweater) would probably look good on you; that way, you won't look swamped, but you won't look like a rail, either. :)

Lots of people have sie 8-9 feet, so just remember that they probably look longer to you (mine always did) than they do to other people. You could drop by a shoe store and experiment with different shapes of shoes to see if any make a difference to you.

Also, about pant length -- try ordering your pants from a company that will adjust the length for you. LL Bean or Lands End come to my mind, but I''m sure there are plenty of other companies that do this. Just measure your inseam and request the length that will work for you. :)

If you really don''t want to look invisible, try putting on a splash of bright color -- whether it is a bright shirt or jacket, or a bright scarf, that might do the trick.

Above all, put on a warm smile and others will think you are stunning (b/c you will feel stunning). :)

Good luck,
Julie

What about women with the opposite problem? I'm 5'3" 130 lbs. and I have no torso, but I'm curvy, so low rise jeans look bad on me. They just don't fit right. I'm also very busty, which means I can't find shirts that fit both my waist and my bust. Any suggestions?

You can wear the styles that the rest of us are too fat to wear! The style that I would never wear is a dropped waist dress. It adds MEGA pounds. Try it! Although it's spring, in the winter, you can add bulky sweaters, and you won't look thin.
