Would someone help me find a dress?

I've got my sisters 40th on Saturday and I need something to wear. I'm rubbish at clothes so thought someone on S&B might be able to help.

I'm 42, 5ft 6 and a size 16 :( I'm pale so and usually wear black, red or dark green.

I hate my arms and stomach. Don't mind my boobs. Would looking for something that was midi or maxi, covers my arms and can wear a bra with. Needs to be forgiving on the stomach and I have a huge bum.

I'm on a tight budget as well and don't want to spend much more than £50ish.

I think I may be looking for the impossible so any help would be brilliant

(PS if I don't reply for a bit I'm off to Lidl to do the weekly shop....the glamour :) )

I'm a similar size & shape ..... and bought this recently, and love it. And it's half-price, only £20.
I may also have it in the cobalt blue too 😳

i found it in a plain version (i think). it is from the usa, but its under budget and so you could pay shipping to have it delivered here. www.vschic.com/products/sexy-v-neck-maxi-plus-size-3-4-sleeve-long-dress?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhcOVqIjj3QIVyZTVCh0WfwA1EAkYFSABEgIYJ_D_BwE&variant=2057974808586
