high waisted Keira


Here is our Lady Short Leg's duchess Keira Knightley looking incredible in high waisted trousers. Considering that she is aware of her proportions, it appears that she is choosing her fashion accordingly, and luckily for her and for us all high waisted jeans and trousers are quite in style. Those billowy trousers of hers paired with the nautical striped top or the deep V neck blouse is thoroughly a good outfit for us (besides a dress) and very chic too. I especially like the ones with the four buttons, however in some of the looks, it would have been better to match the shoe color to the trousers, for a more elongating look.  
A baggy/wide leg pant (like hers), as supposed to tight high rise one, is better as it does not draw attention to a long back.

catherine zeta jones

I remember reading in a magazine interview in the early 2000's how Catherine Zeta Jones spoke about having a long torso, it was in a Harper's Bazaar, or a W, as those were the ones we were subscribing to at the time. Well I cannot seem to find it anywhere online. Instead here are some photos of Catherine, however she is barley disproportionate, but take note the effect of the white cropped trousers, very unflattering. She does primarily wear dresses and skirts, looking beautiful and effectively hiding anything there might be to mask.

Katie Holmes

Poor Katie Holmes, amongst all the things going on in her life, she also quite pear shaped, definitely has a case of long torso and short legs, and the legs themselves are thick and masculine. In her case she really needs to hide a her lower half as much as possible and focus on her slender upper half which is perfectly nice.

Note in the first photo, her legs look longish, it's because of the very high cut bathing suit, and the high heels.

video advice

Here are three videos from an online show titled My Body, My Style.
The advice is quite valid in fact, and the transformation to the jeans and red blouse look is incredible! All of a sudden she looks very youthful, and long legged, take not that in all the after looks she is in heels and makeup, making the metamorphosis more noticeable. However I think the final pink dress is too tight in the bottom area, and it looks good in the video only because she is wearing insanely tall heels, which are unrealistic in normal life, with regular shoe-wear her butt would be too low down. I also think her proportions were quite close to normal, so she was not such a prime candidate to demonstrate the long torso/short leg situation. However it is all valid advice.
