I love Vogue, but there's not a lot I can do this time around (long, ruffly dresses do not work on short people, and open backs and cold shoulders are not my jam). But I'm looking at these: V1543, Anne Klein Dig the pleats in the front. Wondering if it would work in linen? Really wish they'd used plain fabric for the photo. V1550, Paco Peralta Not sure if this would work in short-personville, but I really like the shorter top and pants together. I like the Paco Peralta jacket , too. Unsure about: V1549, Sandra Betzina That's some excellent fabric, but again, you can't really see the lines in the photo. It looks boxier in the line drawing? V1548, Guy Laroche Appropriate short-person dress, but not sure about the overlay (is it totally detachable?) Could be good, could go so, so wrong. Those sleeves are amazing, though. I almost want to just get it and Frankenpattern them onto other things. I like the back seams too. V1542, Patricia J
