Speaking as a crossdresser, I think to be a convincing woman, it's best to wear clothes that reflect the age you are and the woman you're trying to convey.
For me, I would never wear a skirt shorter than knee length and prefer calf length skirts. I am thankfully blessed with women's legs, so I could wear my skirts shorter but choose not to as I am trying to be a smart lady late 30s/early 40s.
I would never wear low cut tops, and would rather go for a chunky ladies sweater right up to the neck. I have a normal neck, but it looks so much nicer, because you're trying to cut down that wide chest and shoulder area often found on men.
I normally wear pencil skirts, or knife pleat skirts, and modest court shoes, too, which makes me average women's height 5 feet '9.
Thankfully, I have small hands so they're not the issue either.
