I have found that many plus sized stores in the mall don't really cater to flattering the fuller figure as the do just fitting. So, you might do some online searching. Some of them take a week to get the items to you, so you still have time. Check out www.jessicalondon.com, www.womanwithin.com, and www.roamans.com. I've made out pretty good with these stores.

You might be retaining water if you're close to your period, which changes your shape some. I wouldn't worry too much about it. As for where to shop, the stores that I like for plus sizes are Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant. Check those out if you have them in your area.

I've done really well lately at Dress Barn. I got a dressy outfit for my niece's wedding reception there.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
