I’ve just taken my measurements - no wonder I struggle to find things to fit

I’m 2 months postpartum and fed up of ordering clothes and finding nothing fits well and I can’t try things on in shops

Is there anyone with similar measurements who might be able to help with styles that night suit?
I used to be a skinny jeans and top person

My measurements are-
Over bust - 39inches
Underbust - 32inches
Waist - 31inches
Upper hips - 41inches
Lower hips - 47inches

The lower hips measurement isn’t unfortunately due to a delectable derrière but a quite unsightly hip to hip overhang from c section

I bought a lot of Jo Jo bfing tops as I went up 5 cups in the top. My back stayed the same, and standard sizing that was big enough forthe bust, drooped off my back.

I'd go for stretchy, jersey type trousers. Harem style pants should be good. I have a couple of pairs from Morrisons. They are forgiving and cope with a difference between waist and hip ratio.

I found it took about 9 months to return to my normal sizing. I ended up buying new over the bump maternity trousers in the immediate aftermath because of the pressure from waistbands on my wound and my odd proportions taking some time to settle down. (I had to have under the bump while pregnant because my bump was too big for over the bump from fairly early on)
