Hi Ocean
I tried on a HUGE hollywood dreams dress...massive massive skirt on it...have you got a massive wide aisle to fill hon?
You could always make a skirt larger by wearing a bigger petticoat to pad it out?

Any aline dress cna be made bigger by the use of a good hoop! But I think Ian Stewart does some excellent but pricey huge dresses with lots of froth....... when I got wed I was planning on a sleek simple frock and ended up in the most ridiculous dress in history! I love a big frock!

and then the ten year old in me took over and the skirts got bigger and bigger hehe

Fab dresses. I tried on a huge meringue a while ago and looked really daft. I think you need to be really tall and skinny to get awy with something like that, not a short little dumpling like me.

Yep, the first one was my dress  (and I loved it!) If you meant larger sized dresses, then Ian Stuart (and his Sincerity line) go up to 28 (US 28, so more like a UK 30). There's no extra cost for this (at least with the Ian Stuart line).
I don't think that you need to be model-esque to carry off a big dress/skirt. It depends on your actual body shape. I'm 5'4" and roughly an hourglass (very hefty too) and the only shape that suited me was a corset top & big skirt. Based on my size, most shops were bundling me into empire line dresses which looked utterly hideous. Besides.... I really do think that that dress demands a busty wearer.... its got a busty French courtesan look to it (would have said milkmaid - but what milkmaid could afford it?)!

I thought I wanted a sleek dress a la Decords too (but wouldnt have looked half as good!) but when I tried mine on, I just fell in love. Ive got a hoop for under it too and although its not the hugest of dresses, its big enough! Its the one time ill get to wear a 'big' dress so was pleased it didnt look stupid on me!!

I have to post THE dress (although it doesn't look as good on the other pic of a real bride in it as it does on the model)
