I bought a skirt to wear to one of the concerts I'm going to later this week, and I've tried it on with a couple different outfit options and it still looks awful. I'm pretty disappointed. I'm 5'2'' and a size 18 and I have no trouble finding dresses/skirts that fit my waist and hips, but they're always too long, or set the waist too high. Hot Topic & Torrid just don't design for girls my height, and it's frustrating.
I've tried to find other places that sell plus-size petites, but most of what comes up is subscription services, which I'm not interested in. I don't wear dresses/skirts often enough to be getting a box of them every month. The rest of the options are... well. Not my style, to put it politely.
I did also buy a cute and comfy pair of leggings to go with the skirt, and I might just wear those and a long t-shirt. Hell, I have a Panic! tee that I can't wear most of the time because it has a swear on it, so maybe I'll wear that.
Still. I would like to be cute and feminine sometimes and honestly I think even if I dropped down to like, a size 10 like I was in high school, I'd still have trouble looking cute in dresses because I am small and short-legged. Ugh.
