Dress too short - please help!

I am going out tomorrow for a friend's birthday. There's tapas, drinks and possibly clubbing. I last went clubbing about 17 years ago. It's not my thing any more, I feel old and frumpy and getting to bed early is my idea of a good night nowadays.
However, it means a lot to her and she means a lot to me, so I bought a dress off Asos a couple of months ago so that I felt committed to going.

I've just tried it on and it's too short. If it were winter I could wear it as a tunic top with jeans. But it's too hot for that. There's no way I can wear the new chub-rub things I bought for it either.

My plan is to buy some big black knickers, preferably shorts style tomorrow and use roll-on deodorant where my thighs rub.

How does that sound? Any better ideas? Any words of encouragement?

Cut down a pair of opaque black tights to shorts length would also work

That's long sleeved and man made. It is going to be really hot...

You’re right @eurochick, I just couldn’t spend much on something I’d wear once. But it’s very baggy, so fingers crossed.
