Hello and welcome!  What type of event is the reunion?  If it's an outdoor afternoon event I would look for a cotton sundress or maybe pair a feminine blouse with a skirt or capris.  If it is an evening (more formal) event, you can never go wrong with a clean black dress.  With your height and tummy issue you want clothing that does not draw attention to the middle and also creates the illusion of height.

Try A-line and empire waisted styles in a jersey or cotton fabric.  Trapeze style dresses and tops would work as well as they tend to hide the middle area.  For a classy, yet trendy look you could pair a pencil skirt with a trapeze style top.  Look for skirts and dresses that are at knee length and v-neck tops also elongate your torso for a slimming and tall look.  Wear shoes with a heel that are feminine and not chunky (metallic and nude sandals are a good choice now - wedges are in).  

If you like to shop in stores - check out Banana Republic, White House Black Market, and Ann Taylor Loft (has petites I think) for more sophisticated styling.  

Don't be afraid to go to Macy's and browse the junior section - with your smaller size, you will find a lot of good, affordable choices.  Look for To The Max and Max and Cleo (they are bridge lines to BCBG Max Azria).  They are contemporary while not looking too "teenybopper".    

Here are some good ideas for you online as well.
