First pool / sunshine holiday - help dress me please!

[OvertiredandConfused]

Help! We usually holiday in Cornwall but, as I've had a shitty time with work and health issues, we've booked a week in Majorca at half term (end of May / early June). Me, DH, DD (14) and DS (12). Nothing fancy - three star all inclusive. I have realistic expectations of the holiday but no idea what to wear!

My recent medical treatment means I'm about 1-1.5 stone bigger than I was last summer. I'm probably a generous 16 on the bottom and an average 14 (still fitting a few loose 12s) on top. Tummy is bloated and I'm very sensitive about it. If my drug regime will let me, I'll do my best to loose some weight before I go but not sure how realistic that it is.

What do I need? And where should I buy it? Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want to be uncomfortable and self conscious either!

I usually take, 2-3 dresses for the day like this

A couple of swimsuits / bikinis. A kaftan type over shirt.
For night a couple of maxi dresses, 3/4 trousers with mix & match tops.

Nice wedges & flip flops for day.

That Heine dress is lovely.
Being an apple, I can't wear the M&S dresses because they gather above my belly and make me look pregnant 😦

I have a few of the Next linen shifts, they're a good shape for me.

Mango has some nice things (beware the polyester though):

I love some of that stuff Pink, although it's more than I wanted to pay for most stuff. Do you know if it's true sizing? I often find a 16 is too big in plus ranges.

I think you'd have to go for a small or a 14. I am between 12-14 and small is good for me. I have only bought a couple of tops, no trousers though.
