It's short but not inappropriately so (the regular version will likely come to your knee if you're petite) . . .

. . .or if you prefer something midi with more waist definition, this can also work with the right accessories to dress it up a bit . . .

. . . or this if you prefer a more tailored look:

Those Boden dresses are good, especially the first one. And very easy to style.

these are terrible for big bust and pretty bad for under 5'5"

That's not true, I have a Somerset mini that comes to my knees (I am 5'2") and it looks great. There's a reason this dress is ubiquitous, it looks great on everyone.

I have one and every time I see photos of me in it, I look pregnant. I think the waist is weirdly high. I need to get rid of this dress so I stop wearing it, thinking it will work if I just stand differently or something.

They had a moment (for some inexplicable reason), but yeah, that moment is very over.
