Does this dress look horrible?

I’m (supposed to be) going to DH’s Christmas party tonight. It’s black tie, 4 course meal.

I bought a beautiful dress.. they didn’t have my size in the shop so I ordered it online and it didn’t come 😭 I had ordered a spare which also didn’t come!

I just emergency bought this and now I’m home I just think.. I can’t go in this 😬

It’s longer at the back than the front. (And looks a bit weird as I’ve just pushed my bra straps down)

What do you think? 🤞

I totally forgot to post a pic and cutting my head off ruins the hair so I’m just going to post my full self!

(The tights are more sheer than they look! I think it’s the light)

It was an amazing night but I did feel a bit like I was auditioning for dancing on ice in my dress 😂 The actual dress still hasn’t been delivered and I’m hoping it will come soon so I can wear it for new year!!

My hair looks a bit severe in that photo but it was really like a soft pulled out braid and a low messy bun. I loved it... that’s the only photo I took all night really!
