I would definitely try on lots of different clothes to see what flatters and fits you most. I agree that spending money to have your clothes tailored is a great idea. I wouldn't buy stretchy clothes as those could accentuate things on your body that you don't like. Tops that have an empire waist or fitted underneath the breasts and flow away from your body will accent the smallest part of your waist. Wide legged jeans elongate the legs and are more flattering.
