Heavy strength training to the point of building muscle mass will make you gain weight, but it's very hard to get to that point and not what most females want anyway. Moderate strength training will build some muscle mass, build strength, and help keep bones strong. It also burns calories, so you'll need to eat quite a bit more if you want to gain weight.
My wife is the same height as you and about 120 pounds, with a 24 inch waist. She has a hard time finding clothes that are a size 2-4 but still slim enough in the waist and long enough in the legs. The best jeans fit she's found so far is Victoria's Secret, which she has to order online or from their catalog. Other than those jeans, she has to spend a lot of time trying on things that don't fit.
It doesn't help that she's a REAL size 2-4 and clothing makers have started loosening things up to accommodate the size 14 ladies who insist that they're a size 8. You've probably noticed that the small sizes are getting looser and looser. It would make life easier if people could just accept that sometimes we get bigger and we're not necessarily always going to be the same size we were when we graduated high school.
We're considering a shopping trip to Montreal because we've heard that you can get European sized clothes there that are a much better fit for slim women. No solid experience there, so don't plan a trip to Canada or Europe just on my speculation.

where tops that hang off your boobs(there really in style right now). Wear normal jeans not skinny jeans and you will be fine. You should exercise though but maybe some light weights and lunges to gain muscle. Even though you want to gain weight still eat healthy but you can have more bread and eat until your full.

don't think you can actually gain weight though excercising but sometimes you can feel like you have and you've actually gained muscle. If you want to gain weight I suggest eating McDonalds and lots of chocolate (though thats Unhealthy its the only way i know)...
For clothes: I think it depends on your personal style, but how about skinny jeans and big t-shirts with Oversized belts and bags? *thats whats in style where I am at the moment and will also complement your shape*. :D

What you're able to be able to desire to comprehend is that your metabolism could be manipulated to an quantity. in case you snack much less then your metabolism will decelerate. in my view regardless of the undeniable fact that i think of you're interior the best place to start some actual education!! I spend a large number of my time lifting weights, they make me bigger and greater useful yet i do no longer assume you to develop lots; forget approximately working and the different cardio vascular artwork, they have no use for you in case you desire to income weight. abdomen crunches will tone what you have, loose weight sessions and eating greater significant nutrients relatively than healthful nutrients much less oftentimes will make something come real (I weigh in as 0.5 a sone lighter than I did as quickly as I joined the wellbeing middle, the version is that - then i grew to become into fat! Now i'm no longer! Why did I purely lose 0.5 a stone?? by way of fact the the artwork I did piled muscle on relatively. you're able to be able to desire to eat healthful yet while it relatively is no longer doing all your physique any good then defy it because it relatively is no longer what your physique craves.

The answer is not to eat yourself to death. Usually baby doll tops flatter anyone's figure. They are tight at the top and loose at the bottom. And matching that with dark skinny jeans would accentuate your legs. Slip on a pair of black high heels and your good to go. Good luck! :-*

i have this problem too, and do you know what i do? i wear long singlets layered underneath bulky (in fashion) trench coats, skinny legged jeans and flat shoes. With thay sort of style, you can't go wrong. Try enhancing your favourite features and using your build to your advantage rather than hiding under baggy sweats.
