If you look under their 'formal collection' section on the left column of their opening page, you will find a slew of great styles. The TP103M model is especially noteworthy. This dress is floor-length, comes in sizes 0-24, and is designed with a gorgeous pattern of toned-down tropical colors.

You'll find mostly A-line styles here, but they range from tulle to satin. The colors are for 'spring' or 'summer' and have added glam with embroidery or beading. Sizing is from size 2-20 and you can check the shipping for sizes 18 and 20 right on the page. They keep it updated so you can estimate how long it will take for your dress to arrive.
