HELP! Formal Work Dinner, What to Wear???
Ok, I just started a new job, which I must Thank God. Because it's the job I wanted, with the pay I wanted, and the profession.
However, now I have a formal dinner to attend and I am freaking out over what to wear, I have no idea. Everyone's saying either a black dress or pant suit....
I have excess skin everywhere, so I cant wear a black dress, because my legs even calves are saggy.... and my arms as well.... If i wear a pant suit, the pants might make me look like I have a butt in the front, and if im not feeling confident I wont be doing to good in heels either....
Any ideas, what I can wear????

Maybe try a nice long black skirt and a pretty sweater (solid color) that's long enough to cover your tummy. With that, I'd wear nice shoes (maybe heels, but I'd probably go with flats or dressy boots) and a long pretty necklace to accent the sweater. That way you look nice, warm and you're covered up.

The long skirt and sweater would be appropriate, warm and comfortable. If you want a black pantsuit, this is a good time to be shopping. It is the perfect time as stores are emptying out winter styles now and prices are reduced.
My suggestion for a pant suit would be a fitted jacket that has a feature right below the bust to draw the eye away from the stomach. It must fit great when buttoned. Then wide leg pants that make your waist look narrow and your legs long. Just a suggestion. Go shopping and try things on. Fit is the most important aspect of looking good. Pay for alterations if they are needed.

I looked at your profile pics....I don't think you will have any trouble finding flattering dress clothes...you are beautiful and very tiny! The "flaws" you think you have...I cannot see :)
Find something that makes you feel elegant and is well fitting and you will do fine.
