That's a point - she's worked really hard and is a size 18, but I really don't want her getting that kind of attitude, so I'll check with the store before making the appointment.
They should be able to still work with her size Keike. I was a 16/18 when I first went looking when I got married and went to both high end couture and off the rack places. All of them managed to either loosen the laces and insert some fabric where the zip didn't do up, or with with the designer dresses they pinned in a panel of fabric at the back so I still got a really good idea of how it would look. I didn't mean to say that to scare you away from anywhere - I was very lucky/stupid (depending on how you think of these things) when I got married and had no budget which changed the attitude of staff drastically in my favour at all but one store (and short of being a 5"10 50kgs blonde nothing was going to please her!), and it really was useful going to the higher end stores because they had great ideas of how the styles could be tweaked to suit those of us with more womanly curves than others ;-)
Some stores were fantastic, but others just plain rude or scary. At the time (13 years ago ) they seemed to stock size 12 as standard for fittings. The best service I received was from a pokey little store with older ladies and surprisingly they had some great dresses.
