I'm feeling porky but need to buy a dress - can someone help me disguise my fatness?

I've stacked on rather a lot of weight this year, was hoping to loose it before xmas but it's become a loosing battle which I will address next year.

In the meantime I have a work xmas do next week which I need to get something for (as nothing in my wardrobe fits any more!!!) Sad

It's a lunctime into evening thing, starting at a quite posh London restuarant probably going to several bars in nice hotels along the way and ending up who knows where.

I think a size 12 would be ok (I bloomin well hope so anyway!!!!)

Area's to disguise are belly, arse, thighs (i'm naturally a pear shape). Nothing strapless please as I'll freeze!!!!!! Oh and nothing black either. Budget, up to £100.

Maybe I should just wear a sack and be done with it!

I was in Tesco yesterday and they had some very flattering illusion dresses of the kind that Kate Winslet seems to love. Annoyingly I can't find it on the website, but I know they had them in a few different colours and they were less than £25. Then as has been suggested spend the rest on spanx, chicken breasts and cottage cheese for 48 hours of hardcore no carbs.
