Advice on feeling attractive/beautiful while becoming more religious

Hi everyone, some background: I didn’t grow up religious and then became religious a few years ago. I’m now shomer shabbat, kosher, and negiah (for the most part – I still do high fives with my close male friends). However, I’m having some trouble with dressing more “religious.” I lost a lot of weight around the same time I was becoming more religious so I feel like I never really got the chance to show off my hard work and new body because I’ve been dressing more modestly. I’m not wanting to show off for attention or anything, and I have a serious boyfriend who I’m marrying next year G-d willing so it’s not to show off for guys or whatever. But I’ve just really been struggling with feeling attractive while trying to wear more skirts and dresses in general. Maybe it’s just because I’m more used to jeans and dressing up when going out (not half-naked or something like that but maybe in a short dress and no sleeves).
