Tailored jackets can help, but be careful not to get ones that are a) too short and b) have the dove tail hem in the back (ya know the thing that make it look like flaps) Also one of the biggest mistakes is wearing the wrong size. If it is too big then it will not hang right, if it is too small, there will be *bunching*

I had this problem when I put on ALOT of weight, as I hated shopping for the bigger sizes. I found that once I came to terms with the size that fit me I looked a lot better. Also now that I am losing the stuff that is big on me looks awfulChat Icon

Also if you get skirts & pants that are cut on the bias, it will drape well and elongate you as well.

Ok, well Express & gap have new lines of jeans called curvy. They are also mid to low rise. Those help since they cut the tummy in half. Denim mid length jackets would fit well. Not long, but right at your waist or a bit above it. I would try pencil length skirts with heels. mae your legs look longer. I will look for pics for ya. Chat Icon

Oh I forgot to mention heels. The way your feet finish your line is so important to how your legs etc look as well. heels make your legs look longer and slimmer.
