Hi all.
HELP
We have been invited by our neighbours to a 50th birthday party at their house. The invite has specified "evening dress required" I am having a major breakdown as to what to wear, I battle with depression, anxiety and a crippling self-loathing and hate being in social situations so would have been in a panic about the invite anyway but this request has tipped me over the edge.
I have recently lost 2 stone but am still very, very overweight. I wear a size 24 top and 22 bottom, have a very large belly and revolting bingo wings so anything sleeveless/tight or short sleeved is out of the question. And I am only 5ft 2 tall, with very short, fat legs. God, I sound like a right catch don't I
I rarely wear anything but black and it would have to be long, but because I'm so short it would no doubt be too long so would have to be suitable to take up.
Cost isn't really a issue, but the cheeper the better as I doubt I will have an occasion to wear it again, and we will have to pay to hire a dinner jacket for Dh
We received the invite today and the party is on 21st October, so there isn't much time.
What am I going to do?
