It is great to have advice about this body type. I have been challenged to find dress shirts that go past my navel, usually I have to buy men's tops. I feel like I have found my herd so thank you for all the great information about how to dress my type. Finally, long torsos unite. It is great to have advice about this body type.

I do have a long torso, and thought they might look good on me, but I've been on a fruitless search all over town for months. I'm thinking about ordering some online to try, but my concern is that I also have a large chest. Is it just a matter of finding the right top, or is this a style I should avoid? I guess I'm just looking for a second opinion, thanks a lot!

I believe I am short waisted--I have barely any space from my lowest rib to my hip bones. Hence the uncomfortable wide belt issue. I do seem to have a problem with getting one piece bathing suits to be long enough though--does that mean I have a long rise? Thanks for all your help. I have been revamping my closet since my sister told me to check out YLF. Really helpful. Oh-one more question. When I look in the mirror, it seems my waistline of my pants tilts (higher on one side). Got any ideas why that would be? Ok, I just checked your previous entry on Short-waisted.

I happen to be short waisted and find wide belts especially uncomfortable. Would love to hear what suggestions do you have for short-waisted ladies.

Now after reading this post I think I may have a long torso but can't decide from looking in the mirror whether I'm long or short waisted. Here are my measurements: Base of neck to natural waist = 15" Natural waist to crotch point = 14" Natural waist to floor = 44" Overall height = 5'-10" (70") Am I short or long waisted?

I.e., from shoulder to natural waist is the same exact measurement as natural waist to sit bones, and the same as sit bones to knee, and same as knee to floor. Think about it... this translates into short legs!! And if I wear low-rise jeans, I *look* long torso'd with short legs. So I don't think I'm *technically* long torso - but some of these strategies do work for me too. Actually, anything that accentuates my natural waist is the ticket for me.
