I'm the old broiler on a hen night, what on earth shall I wear?!!

I haven't been to a bar for years and this will be only the 2nd evening out away from my nearly 1 year old. I'm 41, 5 foot 2 and have recently lost quite a bit of weight so am a size 8. Arms a bit flabby (bingo wings) so strappy tops are out. Am still feeding quite a lot, so quite large of norkage. Legs okay, but knees wrinkly.

Any suggestions on what to wear so that I don't look out of place, or like mutton dressed as lamb? It looks like I'll have to go shopping (or rely on NEXT) as nothing pre children fits anymore!

Forgot to add, most of the other hens are in their twenties and are beautiful, tall willowy beings, so perhaps I'm worrying too much as no one will notice me, anyway!!

well done for loosing yr weight and being a size 8 thats great , you should be feeling fab for that !! i know it sounds a bit predicatable but i always think a little black dress with some lovely heels and bag really works well for me , i recently wore a black dress and lepord print heels and bag and think its a really glam look im sure would look great on you too x enjoy yr night out x ( im nearly 40 so similar age to you )
