Skirts that are a-line will make a woman’s waist look more defined and then pull away from the body at the hips giving the appearance of a smaller waist and hips. Dresses should also be a-line, they should also have a defined waist such as a band that ties around the waist or you can wear a belt around the waist if your dress doesn't come with a defined waist. Again, the idea is that it will make both the waist and hips look smaller.
Make sure the skirt/dress falls just at or just below the knee; any shorter or longer will make the legs look too short and make you look bigger than you are.
