[quote=Anonymous]The key to avoid the "swallowing" is to create an hourglass look by cinching clothes at your natural waist, or finding clothes with a structured waist. My daughter is 5'1" and I'm 5'4". We both have short legs, and look great in long A-line skirts that fit at our natural waist. I have some dresses that fit my waist perfectly. You can find cotton or silk blouses to pair with skirts.

I hear you about the polyester, it's gross. We look for cotton fabrics online, mostly on Poshmark, so we're not tied to this season's collections. I have bought 100% cotton A-line skirts sold as petticoats on Amazon that I wear as skirts because they're not see-through (made in China). And I have a number of LoveShackFancy skirts and long dresses with defined waists: most of their line is cotton or silk, but their cheaper collabs (with Target, for ex) are sometimes polyester, so check the label. That brand has a distinct feminine vibe you might not like, but for Easter, it's maybe the one time of year people don't roll their eyes at that (I happen to love that style). Anthropologie might have some skirts and tops, or dresses, for you too, but most brands in the Anthro universe run quite large.

I discovered, belatedly, that the worse for short legs are skirts that hit somewhere near the knee. They break up already short legs in the worst way. So now I wear either really short mini skirts or shorts, or long A-line skirts or dresses.
