Help! Need clothing advice!

Hello!
I am a larger lady, trying to lose weight but I have my engagement photos coming up soon for my wedding and I know little to nothing about fashion. I never feel super cute in really any outfit so I am wondering if there are any suggestions on plus size clothing, for a relatively affordable price, that you would suggest for a Fall Engagement Photo session! I would really love clothes that are going to make you not really notice my larger stomach. Any suggestions would be great!
Normally when buying clothes I just buy a XL in men's since a lot of my shirts are nerdy/concert shirts. In ladies I tend to go for 2XL-3XL (Usually 2X) for shirts. Just for an idea of my body type.
Thanks!

Anything A-line is universally flattering.1

I was thinking about something like this with black tights and a pair of fashion boots.1 -
That looks nice, OP. Up-to-date style for fall, and the drapey jacket would help minimize your stomach (my biggest problem area, too!) I think you'd look great in that. Good luck with the engagement photos!0

Wear one of these uncircumcised sweaters that are all the rage.1 -
do you have a Nordstroms or anything like that by you? I ask because they have (or used to have) a personal shopper who could help you find what you were looking for - you can typically give them a range for what you want to spend and what you are looking for1

TORRID! They have super adorable special event clothing that's designed to be flattering for younger, fuller girls/women.1

I second this one.0 -
@RainbowLube eloquii, Asos curves and lane Bryant are your best bets. Mango has a plus size line too called violeta0

Just remember everyone sucks sometimes. Hate is sometimes a wasted effort and not many deserve that much emotion from us.

I love a nice sweater, like the first one she posted. I think anything fitting a woman's body (no matter what built, along with confidence) get's my vote. I'm an equal opportunist. I'm attracted to knowledge and independence and the curves are a bonus. 2 -

Congratulations!
Have you seen Lindy Bop clothing? Very flattering to the fuller figure, and if you have a good set of boobs the Ophelia is a good way to show them off, but they also have other styles.0
