I'm a size 22 and am getting married in March, it wasn't as bad as I thought to get a dress in my size, most shops stock larger sizes but not a great selection, but I went to about 5 different shops and found my ideal dress in one of them for about £700, had to travel to Bristol from Gloucester but it was worth it for the bigger selection they stocked, I also ordered a dress from China without a train which I can change into in the evening, I gave the design ideas and my exact measurements and it was made perfectly for around £200, I personally wasn't going to risk getting my actual wedding dress by this method but must admit I was very pleasantly surprised at the dress and it would be more than suitable for a wedding.
I'm also dieting before my fitting for alterations, but luckally most dresses are corset backs so can allow for adjustment.
Good Luck with your search x
p.s. my biggest problem with my size was getting the strapless underwear!! I have ended up adapting a gok wan corset and its perfect0 -
