Please tell me what to wear for “Christmas” party!

Work “Christmas” party is next week and having tried on the entire contents of my wardrobe this morning nothing fits so I need to buy something new pretty urgently ☹️ I’m rubbish at knowing what to wear at the best of times but feeling particularly awful at the moment as have put on a couple of stone since having dc last year and just don’t know what to do to flatter my current body shape.

I’m 38, 5’6 with mid length dark hair- size 14 generally although can be a 12 in brands that go in for vanity sizing or a 16 in those that really don’t! Lots of my weight is on my tummy so really want to hide that and also don’t want to show my arms, but am also conscious that some of the shapeless cover up type clothes I’ve been wearing lately actually make me look even bigger so don’t really know where to start! Can any of you wise ladies advise me? Budget is pretty flexible. Thank you 🙏

Thank you @LivelyBlake, I like all of those actually and think the first one especially looks as though it might be quite forgiving! The pink one is lovely but not sure I could carry it off 🙂
