Help me find a dress

Im a size 10 but have a tummy that needs concealing so nothing close to bodycon.
I like midi length, suits me best, but open to shorter.
I have two events in late autumn and early winter that I need a semi-dressy dress for. A brunch and a dinner that are in quite fancy places.
Also... Can't spend too much! Need to find a steal.
Anyone fancy dress hunting for me? X

Feel like I want something with a bit of a wow factor but also flattering and easy to wear... Asking too much? 😂

It's in the sale in that colour but they have a darker green and a pink too.
If you try it be warned that I had to send my usually size back and size up, there's no hive around the waist at all.

They do a longer version too @Samsamsuperman x

I’ve just bought this. It looks gorgeous in real life. I’m going to get it shortened to just below mid calf though. I’m 5ft 8 and it’s full length on me. It’s very flattering

I’ve got 2 weddings and a posh dinner, and it should see me through all of them

I was in Zara yesterday and they had so many beautiful midi and maxi long sleeve and short sleeved dresses all between £30-50.Still wish I had bought one but couldn't make up my mind which.

@Theemojiformallyknownasprince that is stunning. Yeah I would need it shorter too - I'm only 5 3!

Ah fab @Samsamsuperman, let me know what you think.

Are you styling it with gold or silver shoes, or nude? I can't decide!!

I always go for nude! Minimal accessories I think...
