big sister address is Jl (street) sahadewa 7b Kuta. this is off Jl Melasti at the northern end of Kuta. not far from Bali Aussie Cafe. I am size 24 and I bought a long dress about $20.00 and a shirt $15.00 there and they fit well. They also have large size sarongs 2.2 ms The normal ones were just not long enough for me. All the clothes there are in indonesian designs.
Also got to "Love To Kiss" in Legian Street, Kuta. They have some clothes ready made but will make up material for you. they have a large range of Indonesian material if you want this made up.
If you go to Ubud you will find some stalls in the market have larger sizes. You should try everthing on.
You will not find any western type clothes to fit in any shops.
As for your husband, some places do carry large sizes but it will be difficult. Try the Matahari Department stores. one in Kuta Square and on on Legian Street.
I recommend that both you and your husband go to a tailor to get some made to measure. The tailors over there are very good. Tailors are very cheap compared to ours. You should know what you want as they will try and sell you more than you need. I got a suit made for me (skirt and jacket) for $125.00. Skirts for $25.00 and Shirts For $15.00. Along dress from local material for $15.00.
Balinese are very small people. Most men are no taller than 5'4". and most women no more than our size 8.
