As a plus-sized person myself, I cannot wear traditional kimono. You won't find any your size anywhere, since kimono are only one size and traditionally sewn from fabric which is roughly 14" wide -- one width for each arm, one width for each of the front sides, and two joined widths for the back. They are not fitted as westerners understand fit. However, once you understand how kimono are put together and are worn, you can customize your size.
That said, Folkwear's Asian collection has kimono/yukata, haori and hapi, traditional field clothing, and even tabi (traditional Japanese socks with a split toe). See also Making Kimono and Japanese Clothes and Make Your Own Japanese Clothes: Patterns and Ideas for Modern Wear which may also help guide you.
If you plan to actually wear kimono as regular garments, you will find Kimono Dressing with Yuka instructive: how to wear kimono and tie your obi. Also, since knowledge is power, Liza Dalby's very well researched book Kimono is quite excellent.
I wish you the best on your journey.
