Any one else have this/had this problem and if so what did you do...im trying to find someone to make something but not even sure 100 pound is enough for some material!

Ebay!!
also i would buy a dress thats the same size as you are now in case you dont lose the weight or get a dress with a lace up back.
also try preloved/sell my wedding dress etx0 -
Have a look in places like Debenhams, BHS and Monsoon where you can buy dresses off the peg.
I would also suggest that you buy a dress for the size that you are now because you may not drop a dress size between now and your wedding.0 -
