How far away in time is the wedding? Do you have time to make a dress? I just assume that if you're on a quilting board, you must sew. I made the dress I wore to my daughter's wedding. Actually it was a skirt & top with the same material. I'm plus size too, but I found a really flattering pattern and I loved the finished result. I also got shoes to match, and I got lots of compliments on my outfit.
