Dress me for this black-tie event!

Oooooooooh!

Have just found out I have to go to a black tie do next Wednesday, and furthermore, I'll have to stand up and make a speech! Argh! Having never worn black tie IN MY LIFE, I am at a loss. My usual style is hippyish, lots of jeans and flowy tops, tie dye and stuff that smells of incense...

I will be going to a biggish town tomorrow and would love it if you could suggestwhat kind of thing I should go for, as I am stumped.

I'm 5 ft 11, a size 16, with a big belly and tattoos on upper arm. God. I sound like a truck driver!

TIA

Bessie you haven't said whether you want your tattoos covered up or on show so not sure whether you want something wiht sleeves or not; you also haven't mentioned colouring.

According to Gok empire line is your best dress type so how about these:

simple

even nicer in the flesh

sheer sleeves

LBD with cap sleeves
