I've been waffling over whether to come post here for help for over a month, and today I figured I'd bite the bullet and just do it instead of crafting the elaborate post I had planned

I don't have much rec's in the way of clothing, but if you can find a Benefit counter at Macy's (not Ulta), they will usually set you up for an appointment for a full face of makeup. The couple of times I had it done, it was free (although I did end up buying something), and the first time I went, it was refreshing, because the makeup girl wasn't pushy, and she was actually interested in showing me a less is more approach.
If you have a bare escentuals store near you, check them out for makeup. Best lightweight And natural makeup I've ever used. My Ulta has a bare escentuals counter but the b.e store girls work exclusively with the product and can make good recommendations.
We're about the same height weight. First dress, I would go for earrings and a chunky cocktail ring. I typically go to Lane Bryants or Fashion Bug for those since we have them brick & mortar where I live and I can usually get something funky or whimsical. Second dress is gorgeous!. I like the earrings and I would leave the chest bare and maybe hit it with the sheerest of bronzer or body shimmer. Enough to look like a tan that's fading, not enough to look like a disco ball.
Panty hose I order either online from Roamans or buy in store at Catherines. I buy them in a 6x or 7x and while the waist may come up high, the thighs fit well. I also buy the ones with a bit of spandex in them, can't recall if they are considered support or not, but they do the job. I also got this really great dress shaper from Woman Within. Unfortunately they no longer carry the DD because it's perfect. It fits just right under dresses and where the midthigh one would ride up this one stays in place. It's not too tight, but smooths everything out. I've been on
