Where can "big ladies" buy clothes to go to wedding in?

My sister is a size 22. We have a wedding in 6 weeks and she needs a nice outfit - we have now been out 3 times and can't find much - we have tried Evans, Anne Harvey and Elvi but nothing suitable. Where else can you go? I know you can buy mail order on internet but it is a bit risky if you can't try the items on. Any ideas? Thanks

M&S go up to 22. And up to a 28 in their Plus range.

H&M go up to about a 24 or more too - in their Big is Beautiful range.

next to a plus fit range up to size 28 although their normal range also has sizes up to 22.

Has to be Monsoon.

A word of warning about H&M - their plus size clothes never fit me. In every other shop I'm a size 18 (and even occasionally a 16 if I'm lucky) but I don't fit into an H&M size 22. Don't get it. Mind you, when I was pregnant (and still size 18) I had a size 12 maternity dress from there
