Bloody hell. Queens garden party help!

My DM has an invite to a queens garden party late May and wants me as her plus one.

What is expected? A frock?? I'm a jeans n sweater mid 50s woman, there is zero of the "S and B" about me. So I turn to you in panic for help.

I have fat calves and ankles. Good shoulders. 5 foot 7 and size 16 (14 on a good day). Hate heels of any description. I must feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible as I'll be inwardly stressed, dealing with my elderly DM and my inner revulsion towards this kind of "do". My DM has no one else to take really. Please help!

We had Will, Kate, Eugene (or poss Beatrice?!) and rain. Gorgeous patisseries. Loved my frock, felt amazing and now I've got some Chub Rub shorts I actually think I'll wear dresses more often. Thanks for all your advice!
