If you have a small bust size with broad hips, you can wear close fitting tops that will hug your curves and emphasize your shape — choose tops with some embellishments or details on this area like pretty pockets, gathered bodice, smocked bodice, ruffles on the neck, embellished collars etc. Cowl neckline can suit you.
Drapes on the bodice, ruching etc can also look good. If you want to, you can even try a padded bra or push up bra, just for balance and nothing else. The challenge is to select jeans that will contour the hips and thighs and at the same time will not gape in the waistband. Choose pants with a good enough ease; go for a wide leg with the trouser cut.
A flowing fabric is good. Avoid too heavy weight too bulky fabric. But stiff denim pants are all right especially in a dark color.
They will hold everything in and create a look of slimness. Ensure that your pants do not have any embellishment or eye lingering details. Pockets in contrasting colors, ruffles, pleats, gathers etc , as already said, should be on the top of the body, not the bottom half.
Say an emphatic no to cargo pockets and other fancy pockets on your pants. Choose dark colors and avoid prints on your pants and shorts — anything which will make the hip and thighs less prominent than the upper body. A knee length shorts is better for a pear shape than a shorter version. Do not choose jeans and pants that tapers down.
Instead go for slightly flared legged pants or straight pants. The thin cigarette pant style which tapers down will make the hip look wider. But if you find that pants and jeans make you look bottom heavy, opt for comfortable, not too tight or too see-through leggings under tops as they stretch and accommodate your larger hips all the while hugging your small waist.
If you must wear tights, at least let them have vertical stripes; they can elongate your legs. More on selecting the right kind of jeans can be read here.

I saw a few photos of myself from the back and indeed my shoulders seemed huge in some of my boat neck stuff.
Have to watch that. Peplum is very good for me as an inverted triangle. Big belts around my hips can balance things nicely as well. Just curious—I am almost 50 and am finally getting to a point where I am comfortable with my shape. I have been working out and have lost almost 20 lbs.
I wish to make a lacy t shirt and want to know if I should wear just a lacy bra or a tank underneath. At what age do you stop wearing bright colors? I plan on doing the tshirts in neutral tones ie…earth tones, pinks, creams. I am very fair skinned so really have to watch this.

Good luck! But make sure you balance them out by adding volume to the hips. And steer clear of dresses fitted at the bottom, which don't add any volume to the hips. Great styles are wide, baggy and printed shorts. These will balance with the body's broader shoulders. Shorts should have pleats and fuller legs to add width to the hips. Short jeans are great, especially if the legs are rolled up.
Jumpsuits and playsuits are your best friends if you are an inverted triangle because your broad shoulders let the garments fall nicely down your silhouette. The only thing you need to make sure is to balance out the wide shoulders with the lower body. A defined waist and wider leg, on the other hand, will balance your silhouette, and details around the waist, such as a belt, will draw it in visually.
A pattern, details or a lighter colour on the lower body will also help take attention away from the upper body. And steer clear of tight-fitted trousers to avoid drawing attention to the broader shoulders.
