To expect to be able to find clothes that fit?

I have a long waist, so nothing with a waist or a belt is any good to me, either. The waist on a dress seems to end up in the middle of my ribcage. confused

Wish I could help nanapug but I have never had a waist!

My body shape was great when I got down to a size 8 but that was some while ago. I have long legs and a short waist so everything fitted is a no no for me unless I am very thin. I think most of us have one issue or another. sad

I am so fed up with not being able to find skirts that fit me. The main problem is that I have a waist. I know that sounds crazy but all the plus size clothes seem to be made for apple shaped people. If I find a skirt in my size (not easy) the waist is massive and if I fit my waist the hips are far too tight. Added to this I like long skirts (36") and that makes the odds of finding something just about impossible. Have looked on all the plus sized sites and also Evans, Ann Harvey, M&S, and Monsoon but to no avail. I am now getting desperate as I am going away next week and wany to look nice. Grrrrr....
