I finally found a dress I like for my brother's wedding.

Of course, it's a clearance item, and not in my size, but I think I can manage to replicate it on my own

With a slightly fuller skirt, I think it would work for me.

I spent an hour poring over pattern catalogues, but was unable to find AYTHING I liked. Was considering a corset-y brocade top and plain full skirt, but was afraid about showing my underarm flesh-poofs.

I've noticed that sometimes the quality of stuff at Torrid is a little low, but it's sooo hard to find stuff for big chicks!

I think I can modify a basic skirt & top set to look a lot like that

Trust me, I know the toughness of finding clothes. I've been pretty much the same shape my entire life. The first time I went to Torrid I actually started to cry, because I found a pair of knee-high boots that actually fit around my calves.

I like them too, but the construction can be a little chintzy. And I don;t need THAT much black.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you about the construction. And no one really needs that much black. Or that many zippers on the ass, for that matter.
