Short girls (I mean short.. 5'1" UNDER) Boudoir Outfits?!

Ugh. I am still a few lbs from my goal weight and hating my thighs. No matter how much weight I lose, these things just won't get any slimmer. I am having a very hard time finding a LBD that makes me feel sexy and not short and thick that I can wear for an upcoming boudoir shoot. I also have wide hips and factor that in with being short (4' 11"), can't find sexy lingerie that flatters my body shape instead of accentuates the parts I want to hide.

Have any of you shorties done a boudoir photo shoot? If so, any advice on outfit styles that were flattering, what cuts?

Thank you.

    I am 5 ft..I would say black, skimming the thinnest part of your legs, accentuate your chest, and wear stilettos to make your legs appear longer and slimmer! :)

    But I am looking specific for what type of lingerie works best for my shortness and my shape, which I guess is pear

    I'm not as short as you but from the sounds of we have a similar body type. I go with outfits that skim below my thighs but above my knees and generally a high-low hem line is the most flattering for my shape. Kinda like this:

    I've felt like you, even when I was at the skinniest I've ever been I always had my curvy hips and thighs, I used to hate them, but then it was pointed out to me that women pay to have a body like ours. Seriously, they sell underwear with foam inserts to give girls the butts and thighs we're naturally blessed with. Embrace your body, every single facet of it, be comfortable in your own skin and have confidence and it will shine through in your photo shoot. Also, note on the photography, if your photographer knows her stuff, she'll put you in the most flattering of poses anyways so that your short stature doesn't work against you, but instead makes you look incredibly delicious :-)
