Just wanted to share an (so far) exceptionally good experience with an online place.
I've had my eye on this place for a while: http://www.sweetoothcouture.com/
But, working and all, the clothing is appealing to me, but not altogether practical. Most things on there go to a 4x standard. However, she does up to a 6x, which I just recently found out.
So, I wanted this coat (it comes in about 5 colors, and the crinoline is optional, and comes in about 10 colors - I'm getting a different combo than this): (the fur is NOT part of the coat)

The woman who owns the boutique, Rachel, has been sooooo amazingly nice and awesome. She's customizing the arms for me because the standard 6x arms are a bit too small for me (they are up to a 20" bicep and mine are 25"). The customization fee is very reasonable, and about equivalent to what you'd pay a tailor to make that level of alterations (taking arms off, extra fabric, changing arm holes, etc).
It will be about 3.5 weeks before I get it, but I'll be sure to post pictures and a review when I do.
I'm SO psyched. Can't wait!!
I found her willingness to work with outsizes really wonderful and she's been incredibly nice and accommodating while we figured out the details.
