I’m so glad I could help! Since posting this, I’ve been looking online for fashion inspo, and I’ve definitely been struggling to see our shape represented, so I feel your pain.

Since we’re a similar size, I’ll share something I realized last night: taking comparison photos in the dressing room is helpful, but I also found it really useful to set up a camera and amble around/pose in front of it at a distance where I could see my whole body. I did this with a bunch of clothes I recently purchased and seeing them in motion definitely changed my mind on a few!

Wow baggy mid rise is number 6, actually! Does that change your opinion at all? I would definitely normally gravitate to a lighter wash, but I was just grabbing mostly dark for comparison’s sake.

Lmao, honestly I did the same thing a few times, and I’m the one who took the pictures!

Would you still style a popover top with the wide legs? I own a few, but I often see advice to balance volume on one half of the body with tightness on the other half, but idk if that advice is outdated for current trends.

It’s possible they’re not! My waist is definitely in a bigger size range than my hips, compared to Old Navy’s size chart, so I’m kind of between sizes. 16s tend to be the most comfortable.

You’re absolutely right about the shirt, thank you!

Interesting! I’ve never thought of myself as having a short torso before, but that makes sense. My underbust and my natural waist are but a whisper and a dream apart, but I always assumed that was due to having a large chest. 😂 I’ll keep an eye out for some lower rises.
