I am similar to you Runcaria ! but with a size 9 shoe.
I am short waisted... or maybe low boobed... shorter body with long legs. No shoulders to speak of...
Always wear 2 -3" heels , no flats, I like to "feel" myself at 5'10 ".
I am the oldest of seven children... my sisters range from 5'9"- 6'1" and brothers both at 6'3".
My four children are all taller than me- even my 14 year old daughter.
It is funny how it is all relative. I look at family pictures and I feel dismay at my shortness... but IRL... I feel OK- somedays even tall ! Ha !
I find this is really hard on someone trying to find their sense of style... or reinvent one after so long. My sisters are all long line Dramatic/ Flamboyant types... they do not wear shorter jackets or tunics. I try on some of their gorgeous stuff. I am overwhelmed.
