Plus size 'going out help

Afternoon All.
I am a size 18 (sometimes 20 depending on outfit) 5ft 6ins big chested chinky legged girl and have been invited to a night out in the big city in a few weeks time. All of the other girls going are lovely size 10s and look amazing and I'm extremely self conscious about my size at the moment.

I haven't been on a night out like this in about a year so I'm struggling with what to wear. It seems like the girls are wearing nice above the knee skirts and skimpy tops, but obviously that's not suitable for me. Can anyone help witg ideas of what to wear? Would a jumpsuit be something nice on a plus size?

What age bracket, do you go in at the waist and what will the night out involve?

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry I'm using my phone and my fat fingers always type the wrong thing. My spelling is a mess in that original post.

Age rage is 30-35yrs
I go in at the waist but have a good size tummy Hmm
The night out will involve a meal and cocktails/lots of prosecco in a few local bars with the odd bit of dancing probably.

I'm a 22 hour glass with giant boobage and a bit of a belly and chunky legs and have had the same problem!

Going out tomorrow night and will be wearing this top with black skinnies and chunky burgundy/wine heels. Surprisingly flattering

I think a jumpsuit & heels will look good. Or a bright blouse as suggested above

What is your budget? What colour is your hair? What is your best feature?

How do you feel about a dress? Scarlet and Jo and ladyv do fitted dresses that are very flattering.
