Hi Dalinese.

The key to shorter people is not simply scaling the whole body.. you also have to examine the ratio of head to shoulder, and how many heads tall the figure is. I find standard Vicki2 (far left) to have superheroine proportions (7ish heads tall.)

When scaling figures (particularly V3) you will almost always encounter distortion during more extreme poses. It's just a sad fact of life. ;) To compensate, you can scale the legs less than normal, use x-scaling for chest and hips, and overall scaling for the head and body, and still approximate a shorter looking figure without too much distortion. It's a bunch of trial and error, really.
