Can you trim the body short like that and then use thinning shears or something to keep a skirt from sticking out too far? Her fur is unbelieveable thick. Her legs are pretty long so I have been told she needs a skirt to keep from looking too long legged.
If I get what you mean, you want to shave her body but leave a skirt, but the skirt gets to bushy and sticks out the sides. I think I would try putting a long length comb on the trimmer and goes straight all along the shirt and it would probably thin it down. If it's not enough, try a shorter length comb.
Hope this works for you. Let us know if it does.
