On the main subject of this post, my sympathies.

On a tangential point, but one I might actually have useful information on . . .

it would be nice if it were easier to find cute, affordable clothes that fit my body (interesting note: although I've noticed belt hole drop with my recent weight loss, I haven't actually gone down in clothing sizes. In American women's clothing sizes, one of the alchemical properties is that small sizes have fairly fine differences, but large sizes have larger and larger difference, and are expected to cover a larger range of bodies. So even in your size it's almost impossible to find clothes that fit a large body well as opposed to approximately.)
I don't (presently) own any of their stuff myself, but I have heard very good things about eShakti.com as a source for women's clothing that fits bodies-that-are-hard-to-find-women's-clothing-that-fits-for from both lifehacker.com and a couple sartorial guides for trans women and/or male crossdressers, which seems like a reasonably diverse set of perspectives. All of their stuff is (as far as I can tell) custom-sizeable in 1-inch increments (free on first order and $7.50 per item subsequently), and they're currently offering a $40 off coupon (on any order that totals at least $20 after all discounts) for first-time customers. I don't know whether they would suit your budget and/or tastes, but it might be worth looking into.
