[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's helpful. My torso fits in clothes just fine. I think I need to try on some petite jeans and slacks. Still a good idea to size up?

I can wear almost no dresses. The proportions just never work for me or I look shapeless and terrible. [/quote]

I would plan on sizing up. Until you have a feel for how different brands fit you, I'd suggest bringing at least three sizes into the fitting room.

Don't give up on dresses. You just haven't found that cut and/or brand that works for your body. It took me a long time to figure out the challenge for getting dresses to fit me (short torso). I thought the problem was that I lacked a waist, when the reality was that the waist (smallest part) was down around my hips (usually a woman's widest part). I've also become a fan of belting otherwise shapeless dresses (maxi dresses, shifts, t-shirt dresses). It takes a while to figure out the best belt width and placement for you though.
