For a classic pear shape, which you have described, a wrap dress to knee length is perfect.
Look for dresses of a plain colour or all over large print (like big flowers), or just a print on the bodice. Dresses with a waist are perfect. Don't buy any tailored dresses / skirts that come in at the hem or have too much fabric.
Choose box pleat over gathered, and avoid side splits at all costs. A split at the back is OK on work clothes.
Choose plain, dark colours for your pants. Avoid flares or skinny jeans. Choose classic boot cut.
Halter neck shirts which tie up behind your neck are very flattering on smaller busts. Choose a tie-up version because you have mentioned clothes for taller women assume massive breasts.
Pear shapes look best with a defined waist line, so look for shirts and dresses with small belts or ribbon ties.
Long skirts are great, but wrap skirts look excellent on tall and larger women.
If you can sew, sewing a wrap skirt is easy as anything.
