If you need a larger size you can grade it up to fit your size or you can draft your sweetheart bodice with this BurdaStyle Tutorial.

Tulle skirts in wedding dresses are made with multiple layers. I would use 4 layers: one satin layer, a second layer with a lace fabric, and two tulle layers. For the fullness of the skirt, you’ll need a skirt hoop.
