Men have no idea

Bullshark: Hey, good news . . . we may be able to go to [a huge gala] [out of town] during the first week of December.

Me: Yay!! OMG! I'm gonna need a dress! *frantically googling plus-size ball gowns*

Bullshark: Well, I'm not sure we have tickets yet. I can let you know next week.

Me: You mean you can let me know less than seven days before the event? Right before Thanksgiving weekend? And you expect that I can get a dress and shoes, not to mention babysitting and hotel and time off work and transportation all lined up on that kind of notice?

Bullshark: Yes.

Me: *headdesk*

To be fair:

He did come up with the babysitting/transportation solution, providing my sister is amenable to it. And he is trying to get a definite answer an the tickets sooner. But how I am supposed to find a gown on two weeks' notice that (1) doesn't make me look like a beached whale, (2) is appropriate for the event and (3) is affordable is beyond me. Any plus sized women with suggestions?
