I've been having the same problem. I am substantial in size, and I need
a new concert dress. Everything I've seen is sleeveless, with an Empire
waist and an a-line skirt - absolutely the worst possible thing I could wear.
(And I agree with you on sleeveless dresses in church. I'm not fond of them
anywhere, because most women are not flattered by sleeveless styles.) I have
found a couple of possibilities at www.davidsbridal.com. You might also try
local bridal shops. The Dillards department store here has a great plus-size
department which has some nice formals. I'm assuming that the Dillards
stores in Texas should have much the same stock.
