Nature gave you perfect measures. Perhaps you aren't aware, but all smaller women envy you. All you have to do is deal with your height! You are the only ones that can afford thick, thigh-length coats, thick textiles and (artificial) fur. You're meant to wear everything you can see on pages of fashion magazines.

You are not only tall, but have developed also into width. Except yourself as beautiful woman without complexes. But if you have them, hide them!
Yes: wear everything that elongates body. Not because you want to look taller, but because you need to balance your wide back with your height.

If you have wide back or shoulders, you can narrow it/them by replacing square shoulder pads with round ones- this way you'll soften your posture. Recommendable are also round collars or shirts with round hems.

Youthful look: velvet boiler suit with sneakers, tight T-shirt or body under knitted cardigan
