I'd really like a black sequin mini for Christmas nights out. I'd wear it with black tights and ankle boots.

My legs are fine and I usually wear mini dresses but avoid skirts because most of my weight is around my stomach so I can't wear anything tucked in/fitted.

I'm around a size 20, maybe 22 on top because of the belly. I want long sleeves and something quite plain so it's not too sparkly and in your face.

So how do I wear a mini or can I at all?

I'm thinking a black blouse left untucked. I can open a few buttons so it's not too stuffy looking.
Maybe silky/satin? I guess I'm worried it'll look scruffy.

Am I way off? Should I just stick to dresses? I really hate not being able to wear skirts.

You could also look for a satin v neck blouse or bodysuit to wear under neath

Thanks. Do you think something like that would be ok untucked? The other option is something with a bit more shape like a peplum top I guess.

I think it would love fine untucked. A peplum top could be a good option or have a look or wrap tops too, both very flattering
