Party dress emergency - please help

My friend has bought this dress for her son's 21st birthday party. She is only 37 but is very aware that she doesn't want to look mutton.

It looked great in the shop but now we both agree it is far too short. We've been searching for something similar but no luck yet.

Ideally it should be black, long sleeved (or at least some sort of sleeves), showing a bit of cleavage and on the knee.

Can you help??

I wouldn't have said that dress was mutton at all! I was expecting a body-con strapless thigh-high number.

too much cleavage, not enough sleeve?

It's not mutton it's lovley. Just really really short

It's not that short! Could she wear it with opaques if she feels self-conscious about the length?
