Need advice b4 I go dress shopping!!

I need suggestions on the best place to shop for a dress if you are a bigger girl.  I am nearly 6ft tall and broad shouldered.  I tried dresses on in 10/2009 at a David's Bridal and they had 4 dress styles in my size.   I think the dress size I will need will be somewhere betweek an 18-20.  The attendant was very rude and not helpful at all.  I realize I'm an odd size and everything I want to try on won't be available in my size.  But, I don't like being discriminated against because I'm not a size 2!!  There must be some shops in San Antonio that carry dresses in the bigger sizes.  Not just 2 halter styles and 2 strapless styles.  HELP!!!!!  I feel ike I'm too large to be able to find a beautiful dress.  I don't want to settle.  Any advice would be appreciated!

    I LOVED Mayfair Bridal.  I'm not sure whether they carry a lot in your size; I would just give them a call to see. Hope they'll be  a good option for you!!

    Wow I am surprised David's didn't have more. When I went there there were rows and rows of 18-20 dresses.

    Maybe Alfred Angelo works?

    Hi!!! I actually went dress shopping today for the first time and got my dress!!!
    I got mine at The Bridal Galleria; however before buying it- I decided to look at other places.  Debi's Bridal and Glamour Bridal actually carried a variety of styles and of bigger sizes as well.
