AIBU a dress for my 40th

I'd love some help finding a dress for my 40th birthday which is coming up! (I guess my aibu is in asking youto help!)
I just can't find the one... I am 39 obviously, a 5ft3 12-14, really like my legs so would like it to be short- I like heels so can go with them... I suit green so that's a definite... it needs to be suitable for two occasions (I am spending them with different people so can get away with sane outfit) One - a beer festival... two - a naice meal, probably dancing after but still doesn't need to be fancy so I think both will manage on one dress, I can change up the shoes, accessories etc.

I've found one in a boutique near me but don't have a pic, it's green, kinda got a leopard print and its floaty and short. Not quite special enough for what I want.

I've spent all morning on asos - I don't know where to look, most of my clothes come from Sainsbury's 😑
Budget - 70ish quid

Help!!!

What’s your body shape?

You should move this to Style and Beauty. The have lots of people who are really good at this sort of thing.

Oh whoops yes I'll get it moved, I don't use many other boards and never have need for that one Grin

Body shape, pretty toned from running, I've got boobs and a defined waist, I'm conscious of tummy area but with the right dress I don't mind quite fitted

A quick Google search just bought up this from Cichic and is about £22 with postage. I think it's lovely.

Summer whisper that dress is gorgeous--good find!

Summer whisper that is fab, and I hadn't thought of silk Fred but have often heard of it. I'm off to the hairdressers so will get looking then while I've got a few hours peace! X

I love styling other people despite being a bag of washing myself! Just looked on Silkfred...and found a similar very lovely dress that would suit your body description.
