Answer
Finding plus-size stuff is a major pain! What you might do is find a good tailor -- try your drycleaner for recommendations, or an upscale department store. Then, together, choose a pattern from the sewing section and choose fabric. With a tailor, you can add special details and make even a simple dress quite elegant. Vogue Patterns might be a good place to start.
The place you bought your wedding dress may be able to re-work a bridesmaid dress for your mother, too. Choose a completely different style, cut off some length and leave off the frou-frou, and it might work.

I'm trying to find a wedding dress with long lace sleeves. I really like these two:

http://www.eastbridal.com/wedding-dress-style/long-sleeves-wedding-dress/plus-size-a-line-strapless-neckline-chapel-train-off-the-shoulder-lace-sleeves-white-wedding-dress-sgwd0005.html
but both those companies don't seem reputable. And other more well known companies just seem to have lace jacket style coverups for older brides. I know david's bridal will attach long lace sleeves to any sleeveless dress, but the pictures of their sleeves didn't look very good.
I'm 5'10'' and a size 14. So a little overweight, but I don't really need a huge cover up dress. I just have a scar on my upper arm from a skiing accident that I'd be more comfortable if it was covered up. And I think those two dresses look classy, yet sexy.
Thanks!
I was concerned about those companies because reviews I found said that the dress wouldn't arrive, or would be low quality.
Those Casablanca dresses look really nice! There's a retailer about 30 miles from me, I'll definitely go try them on. I couldn't ever find the brand name on the sites I was looking at. Thanks!

Go actually try on gowns, please! The only way to find the perfect dress? Go try on gowns. That is the only way to tell which is the most flattering to your individual body type.
This is a major purchase. Don't order online. Actually go try on dresses. See the quality with your own eyes before purchasing.
If you are a mature bride, you can consider evening gowns and mother-of-bride gowns too. Often, a mature bride will prefer a more sophisticated look.
