Can't find shorts or anything else to wear to the beach :(

I am leaving to Dominican Republic from the 14th-18th of February for hubby's friend's wedding. I need to figure out what to wear to the beach as the obvious bathing suit is out of the question. Can't wear that during that time of the month, which happened to fall right when we have to go there. Plus, my bathing suits don't fit me anyway and I can't find any. I tried on a pair of shorts I have at home but they no longer fit me. I looked at the size and it says 0. I am nowhere that size now. Tried looking at stores for some shorts but hardly anything there. And what I did manage to find that I wanted to try on was no good. I'd think shorts would be available all year round. Guess not. Now I am left without them. I tried looking for some short loose dresses or at least some thin sporty pants or khakis that are way above the knee but found nothing... What the heck am I gonna wear to the beach? I don't wanna be stuck in long pants or jeans at the beach. And I don't really have a dress for the wedding either. At least not a very dressy one as that one is a bit tight on me. I guess the one I do have that's an everyday dress will have to do. I should have tried everything on a long time ago so I'd have plenty of time to look for stuff to buy if needed. I didn't do that. And now I am screwed. Leaving things for the last minute is a definite no-no! Lesson learned. Or is it?
