How much are you able to spend? I recently bought a dress online from www.annascholz.com who does high end stuff in the sizes you are looking for. It is expensive (£170-£350) but the dress I bought was half price in the sale and the quality of the material and the cut is exceptional.

Simply Be - google them

They have some fabbola stuff

Evans are good if you don't want to spend much eg black sleeveless maxi dress with a gold shimmer shrug perhaps?here

Monsoon do lovely dressy stuff. I'm a 20, but take an 18 there. I'm fairly sure they go up to at least 20 (ie 22 in reality), and possibly one size further.

I have in the past found some nice dressy stuff in Evans, but it rarely comes anywhere near Monsoon in terms of style and quality.

"This could be nice" there is a top made to match as well
