 Well I'll tell you what I do when I really want to dress up.
I have hair extensions that I bought when I cut my hair too short awhile back, I put those in. They give my hair some length and volume (my hair tends to be flat) and looks amazing, I feel my prettiest when I have them in. I got mine online from HeadKandy.com but they have extensions in stores as well. Do some research on them if you are interested and you can learn a lot.
Then I do my make up. You have glasses so it will be good to play up your eyes. Get some false lashes on. Then some eye make up that works best for your eye color to make them really pop. Mine are green, I wear a plum shadow. You can look up online what color looks best for yours. Then I apply eye liner, mine in black, but there are many colors to choose from. Also you can watch YouTube videos that give you a lot of tips for applying the eye shadow and liner. When you do a darker, more pronounced eye makeup you want to keep the lip neutral. I typically just wear Chapstick but if you want to wear a shade make sure it isn't really bright or dark if you have a lot going on with your eyes.
For foundation I just use a little to cover any redness. I use the bare minerals powder foundation but have tried and liked some liquid ones, they are trickier. Do research before buying foundation. I always put on a moisturizer first. I don't like caked on foundation or make up, it's best to be simple and play up your best features rather than cover too much.
So once I've done hair and make up I get dressed. I just pick what I consider to be my best outfit. If it's warmer outside I will wear a cute sundress with wedges, if it is going somewhere a little dressy then I'll wear a nice skirt and top with heels. In the winter time I typically just wear skinny jeans and boots with a nice top. So it depends on where you are going, pick your favorite outfit that makes you look best. If you want you can go shopping for something new, that always makes it even more fun to see him when he comes back because you are buying something specifically for the event.
I didn't mention it because it is common sense but make sure you shower and shave. If you know his favorite scent then use it for body wash. Otherwise use your favorite. I just spritz a little perfume, not much since I don't like a strong perfume smell.
Another idea is to surprise him with lingerie, assuming you are having sex. At the end of the night come out in that and you will make the entire day very memorable.
Basically my goal is always to look beautiful without looking like its over the top or I tried too hard, even if it did take some time to look that way :). It all sounds like a lot of fun have a good time with him! Thanks for the question, I enjoyed answering that.

 Hi
Hair washed and soft and nice to touch. Use a conditioner that ensures your hair has no dry ends.
After the shower also soak your feet for ages, while you attend to your nails. Then give your feet a pedicure.
Also, after you shower use a lovely body lotion - Crabtree and Evelyn "rose" one is my favourite
Nice natural approachable makeup. Lightly does it. Not too heavy makeup.
Leave any hint of overly made up face to the not so nice girls.
Same applies to what you wear, as clothing that is slutty send all the wrong messages.
Try to choose a material or materials that feels lovely to touch. soft. If it was winter I would say velvet. But that is out. A pretty soft voile that is not see through could be lovely.
Something light and pretty and feminine would be my first choice. You want to show that you are special.
Choose your lingerie carefully. A delightful pretty pale blue or pink set of panties and bras send a much nicer message, than a leopard skin print push up bra and a black G-string.
A girl can always be a tigress in the bedroom but she will get further if she looks like a sweet kitten in public.
No one needs to hang out a neon sign about her sexual interest in a guy in public - a nice guy will prefer a
more subtle approach in public.
Nothing too plunging and nothing too tight and nothing too short.
As far as short though - unless you are 6 foot high and have simply stunning legs then nothing too short still applies.
Do wear high heels. It will make you look good.
Have a plan in advance as to where you will go and what places you will visit.
If you can choose a quiet romanctic venue for the meal, one that is not too expensive and is known for really good food. This will allow you to talk to each other sitting down and allow you to talk to each other quietly, without needing to yell (to be heard)- then that would be the place to choose
Avoid any place that has a reputation for rougher people who might cause trouble.
As far as the clubs or pubs - try to limit it to a nicer place that is not frequented by rougher people.
You need peace and harmony on your first night together. Not drama and not others behaving badly.
So go for places where you can enjoy each others company in a nice peaceful setting.

You need to play up your best assets. Don't wear too much make up. Be natural. What is his star sign? That is a good way to find out what your man likes.
Most importantly I think that you need to be wearing something new (it always makes you feel amazing) and just relax.
