Hi Nancy
I'm 6'3" and 240, so I do cast a long shadow. I found that clothes that fit carefully around the waist give a better silhouette. Wrap dresses to the knee or just above, blouses that are pleated or wrap and hip padding go a long way to help draw the eye from our wide shoulders. I'm a 20/22w on top and a 18/20 on bottom and usually keep my heels below 4 inches and have a few pair of cute flats that help control the height issue. Kiyonna and Igigi both have wonderful clothing that fit our figure. I found both brands to fit larger so a 2X works for me. Ebay sometimes have deals on these brands used and right now Kiyonna has a 30% off sale. I have a few 2x dresses for sale if you are interested.
Above all is to have fun and to be accepting of ourselves, Nancy!
Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving!!
