What kind of prom dress would fit my body type?

I'm busty and I don't have that much curves and I'm short hahaha. I don't have a very good body so I don't want to emphasize that and I want to draw attention away from my boobs and my stomach. I also don't like those short dresses so I would prefer a floor-length dress. I just want to know what kind of dress line (e.g.A-line, Empire) that would fit my body type.

Update:

Oh right, my height is like 5'3" and my measurements are 35-29-33 and I think I'm size 12 or 14 (sometimes 14 because of my boobs :P)

    Don't listen to those ignorant comments!! Floor length dresses are definitely more comfortable than short ones! Plus... They are way more classy! I think any size girl should wear a floor length dress to prom. So I'd go with that. If you are uncomfortable with your waist, do one like the photo I attached! It's graceful and flows right off the bust line. Also, because the waist starts so high, it will make you appear to be taller! Good luck and have fun at the dance!

    PS: Be aware of your color choice too. Lighter clothes tend to make (everyone) appear a little larger and darker clothes tend to make (everyone) appear a little smaller. If your dream dress is a light color, don't sweat it... It will look great because you feel confident in it!

    Best thing to do is try on different styles. It can be hard to know what suits you until you see it on your body.
