Can anyone tell me a dressage saddle that doesnt look pea sized on big warmbloods?

I currently have a lovely M&N I purchased not long ago but it just looks so small on a 17.2 with such a big frame, Even going for 18" plus they still look tiddley.

Heres his dressage saddle, see how dinkly it looks? but I do have extra large size sqaure on there.

Sorry phone photo, but you get the idea.

I have a 17.2 oldenburg and both his dressage & GP saddles are Albions. A friend of mine also has a 17.1 which she has an Albion on and they are the best (for us) by far.
 
I have an 18hh ISH and he is in a 19 inch made to measure. I have a Morris and Nolan GP and an Ideal Suzannah Dressage saddle.

The only thing i can say is if you get a made to measure you can ask them to extend the flaps etc so it looks in proportion.
