How Can I elongate my body?

First, stand up straight. Good posture makes you look longer and leaner.
Wear a heeled shoe. Also adds height. Also stay away from "chunky" shoes.
If you're short, stay away from long dresses/skirts (anything that reaches your ankle). Stick with lengths that hit just above the knee, or a couple inches below.
If your waist is a problem area for you (since your title is "Looking Leaner") then stay away from anything that's going to draw attention to that area (ie. Chunky belts).
Stick with smaller patterns instead of large, bold ones.

Wear darker colours and wear just the one colour.
Wear slim line clothes rather then flouncy or flowy clothes.
Wear you hair up, if it's long, to create height and a longer line.

Definitely look into having clothes tailored to ensure the best fit. Ill-fitting clothes (too tight or too baggy) actually make you look bigger.
