Who is up for a challenge? ...

...'cos I need an outfit for my works' Christmas Party and I'm ridiculously hard to make look good!

The party is in a hotel and will be fairly dressy, the very thought of this fills me with fear as I'm really a scruffy relaxed dresser (combats and t-shirt) generally.

Ok, so, to get to the point, I need an outfit to make me look good (and trendy too please). You need to bear in mind the following:

1 - I'm overweight (size 18)
2 - I have a large bust
3 - I have a very saggy wobbly stomach
4 - My knees are awful so all dresses/skirts above the knee are out of the question
5 - I have fat arms so the tops of my arms must be covered
6 - I have a pair of knee-length, black, stilleto heel boots and can't afford to buy anything else, so the outfit has to match these

Told you it would be a challenge

Anyone up for it?

Should add that on the plus side, I have lost 11 lb this month so will hopefully lose a bit more before the 'big day'
