I haven't been to a ball since way before having children (my eldest is now 13!!). I need to buy a dress but I have no idea what one wears to one of these things these days. I'd hate to look overdressed.
Stats: I am 47 (don't look it, if that means anything), only 5.2" and 1 st overweight although I hide it pretty well as I have a flat stomach (all my weight in on my thighs).
The dress must reach my knees as that's my worst feature and I would feel more comfortable with short/elbow sleeves, although sleeveless is not a show stopper. Nothing clingy around the bum as I have saddle bags.
I really would prefer something low key, not flowery, sparkly or sating like. I would also like to avoid lace. Pale colours don't suit me and neither does red. Black, cobalt, navy, some pinks, greens and plums are good.
Budget, no more than £150 as I never go anywhere and I know the chances of wearing it again are pretty slim.
Would someone help me please? I am desperate!!
