We are taking a cruise later this month and I've put on almost 10 lbs since last summer. Anyone wanna help me find a new cute dress or two that will cheer me up and not make me feel like a stuffed sausage?
I'm 5'9" and about 155--typically a size 10 and pretty busty.
ETA--this a a cruise with the kids, so I'm looking for day dresses....casual but cute. Something I might wear to lunch with a friend this spring / summer.

I was thinking some white or khaki cropped pants and a cute top could be nice. I have a pair that I really like from The Limited. Looks like they aren't out at this time of year though.
While I was on the Limited's site, I saw this dress. It's cute and would be flattering, I think:

Anything appeal to you on the resort wear section on Nordstrom?

This is adorable, and I think Shoshanna brand is good for busty women, right?

I have a dress just like this (dif't print) from REI that I love to wear, even though my belly could be a bit more trim.

How about some Athleta dresses? The Nectar drss or Pack Everywhere, for example. I don't recommend the Leto dress. I had it and it was horribly unflattering to anyone who isn't teeny tiny, imo.
There are some really cute dresses on Piperlime. Ones from Splendid are jumping out at me.

3/4 sleeved and maybe not a good fabric but cute:

Inhave this in orange and blue, and love it. I'm a c cup, though. It is low cut, so you moght be more comfortable with a cami. It does have a nice a-line shape.

thanks for the suggestions!
I had to get my computer repaired today so I popped in the mall and picked up a few things. If I find something I like better I'll return but at least I have a few things...
