Stressing about holiday clothes - please help!

[Canterbury58]

Hello. I’m 8 months post partum and am going on holiday in a few weeks. Since pregnancy I’ve gained around 40lbs which has completely knocked my confidence, as well as suffering from PND fairly severely.

I’ve never been particularly body confident and it’s even worse now that I’m bigger.

I also have boobs for the first time ever and a tummy (previously very pear shaped) so I’m lost trying to find holiday clothes to buy.

Please could I ask you all to spam me with links to things you’ve bought for holiday and felt amazing in? Especially anyone who’s a size 16/18. Thank you so much x

Holiday in a warm place?

To start with you almost certainly look a lot better than you feel!

For my recent and long awaited holiday I got quite a bit from Free People. If you get the App it’s all free delivery. A lot of their stuff is cotton and in the loose oversized boho space and I found it really easy to wear layered over swimwear etc. It is not the cheapest but the returns have always been excellent with money being returned as soon as the package is in the Royal Mail system.
Favourite buys include:
Hot shot harem shorts;
Nova tunic; and

Good day romper (although they don’t have many colours now)

Sorry yes I should’ve said a warm place.
