Some really good ideas above. I think the shopper would be great.
But some low-budget ideas that popped into my mind: do you have a close girlfriend (perhaps someone who has struggled w/ an ED) who could go w/ you an provide moral/practical support? Someone who you could REALLY tell what was going on. She could run and get stuff for you and help you find other stuff that is similar to what you like. And she could reassure you when you need it.
A girl is ideal (for fashion reasons) but a hubby who finds you irresistable can be good too. I had a boyfriend once who always made me feel so attractive when I would try something on. That positive energy really helped me get over some self-consciousness and bad feelings abt my body.
Also, are there things that you could buy on-line? Of course, you might have to get out there and shop 1st to get a sense of shapes and sizes. The internet can really cut down on in person shopping time. ;)
Best,
EE
