Got a cute short dress for a wedding but my legs are a state!! What to do?

Tried on my outfit the other night (wedding in 2 weeks) and realised that the bare-legged look isn't going to work as crawling round after 11mo DS has left my knees and shins bruised to hell!

Flesh coloured tights make it slightly better but you can still see all the marks. Darker tights just won't work I don't think, due to the colouring of the dress (this one) - wearing it with nude coloured shoes & belt.

What's a girl to do? Make up? Sit with steaks on my legs? Hide behind DP's legs? Grin

Any tips appreciated!

Spray tan under your tights?

Nude coloured fishnets work miracles on legs, sometimes difficult to tack down though.
Love the dress by the way!

Makeup! That sally Hanson stuff with nude tights over should cover anything! Cute dress

I'm quite pale and fake tan always looks orange

What would nude fishnets do? Confused

Can you actually get leg makeup then? Does it not rub off?

Google Dermacolor makeup. Its used by professionals to hide all sorts of scars, tattoos, burns etc.
