Smaller on the top than the bottom, with hips wider than your shoulder.
Ball gown disguise fuller hips and put the focus on your better half, balancing your torso and bust.
Empire dresses are also a great choice as they highlight the smallest part of your body.

A sheath will flatter your slender shapes.
A ball gown with a fitted bodice and full skirt will create the illusion of curves.
Petite figures
