I'm sorry if I'm rambling. I'm quite insecure (even online!) My husband has asked me go to a ball at the dorchester. I will be surrounded by ridiculously beautiful and glamorous women. I'm thinking about wearing a complete burka or even a giant kaftan--but my husband has asked me not to.

I have had two children and my body is a disaster. I have okay-ish if quite fat legs but my arms and tummy are a mess. I ordered this dress dress

but I am worried it wont get here on time.

I plan on wearing a pair of leopard rockstuds to liven up the black...but I do have a great deal of many shoes.

If the dress doesn't come in time does anyone have any other suggestions? I don't mind the price, but I just feel like I should have a back up dress. I'm in London so I can go anywhere but I feel super hideous. I'm a size 14-16, huge floppy breasts that I can make attractive with the use of a heavy duty push up bra. I'm in my early 30's and have olive skin. Stylistically I live under a rock but do try to stay 'current'.

If that dress doesn't work out, I can recommend Eliza J dresses. I have this one, and even my very non committal teenager was impressed. It's now known as my princess dress. Very flattering around the middle.
