Midweek Date, Clothing Conundrum

Hi I am going on a second date with a lovely guy. He's invited me to a Moroccan restaurant which invites diners to sit on the floor atop cushions.
What to wear?
Our first date I was dressed quite casually for pool, pub and dancing in jeans, plain top and ankle boots.
I'd like to look a bit more special for dining but don't want to risk looking unbecoming if I were to wear a skirt and accidentally expose the gusset of my tights.
I could wear jeans and top combo again (different top) or some kind of trouser affair, perhaps slightly turned up with DM loafers?
I'm short, broad shoulders, hench upper arms and a mummy tum.
I can't do high shoes and frankly would look (feel) a dick in this restaurant in heels.
Any suggestions? Tia

Sitting on the floor. On cushions.

That's a style challenge but also massively exciting to be going on a 2nd date, right?

I think jeans & top with loafers will be cute. I would probably wear slip on flats or penny loafers as I can't carry off DM anymore.
