Plus size in summer- what can I wear... help!

So, it looks like summer is here and I am still wearing all my winter padding! I had a baby last year and apart from the initial weeks weight loss, I have lost nothing else.
It hasn't mattered in winter as I tend to wear boots, leggings, dresses and thin jumpers over the top.
I have no idea what to wear in this hot weather! I used to wear some casual dresses, linen trousers and vest tops etc. However I still look pregnant in them all! Doesn't help that I am squeezing in stuff from 2 summers ago.
I am a size 16-18, large chest, big stomach. Legs are okay (pale but okay!).
Please help me, I need to order some casual comfy summer stuff to wear.

:( links not working for me.
I’m normally a 12-14 currently a 16 so I’m basically living in patterned open shoulder tops loads around next, peacocks, matalan with Capri trousers/jeans and sandals.
Hopefully I’ll get some shorts on in a few weeks once diet kicks in

I give up! It's called How to Dress in Summer When you're large- was in AIBU

There are loads of things you can wear in the summer, just wear something that is comfortable and that fits and ignore what everyone else thinks! Just cause you are plus size doesn't mean you can't wear a bikini or swim suit or anything!

I could have posted this! Size 14-16 on top but more 16-18 on the bottom due to my mum tum.

I really struggle to find comfy things to wear. I hate the warm weather for this reason.

Thanks for the replies. I have just read the other thread. I am still struggling... just can't find anything online that will suit me. I need to find my mojo!
