Long shirts with leggings and heels create the perfect balance of features.
Shorter shorts and baby doll tops.
Avoid high wasted jeans. Opt from skinny jeans or boot cut, flare leg will make you appear shorter if they cover your feet (and they probably will)
Heels really are your best friend, they add leg length and make you feel amazing.
Wedges are the most comfortable.
Dresses are a really good option. Get them in a length that comes about 12 inches above your knee, throw on some heels and you're golden.
Yes, short legs and long torso
Something with short legs and a long torso, such as a dog. For example a dachund hound.
I am 13 and 5'5". I weigh 100 pounds. I have a long torso and short legs...do you think any ballet company would take me for their summer intensives? I am just worried about not having the perfect dance body (short torso, long legs). I have just the opposite :/
put the torso on the legs then put the head on the torso
The torso is the body not including the head, arms, and legs. It is also called the "trunk".
It holds your legs on your torso.
Wearing high-waisted bottoms can help visually shorten your legs by creating the illusion of a longer torso. Opting for straight or wide-leg pants can also balance your proportions. Additionally, choosing tops with horizontal lines or details near your waist can draw attention away from your legs.
For example, I ripped off my shirt because I had to remove the mole on my torso.
Yes, you can live without a torso. If you re-connected your head and arms to your legs and put your organs in your legs or arms, you can live and have a great quality of life.
Well, you need to be fairly skinny, with strong legs. I heard a great dancer say that you need a small head, short torso, long arms, long legs, and you need to be skinny.
I would definitely think it would affect balance when doing more gravity defying moves...?
Typically the general body type for swimming is short legs and a long torso. when you think about it your arms and midsection are the power house of your stroke and your legs are like the motor. You don't need long legs as long as they are strong. Look at Micheal Phelps, he is tall but his torso is longer than his legs and he is AMAZING.
