Hit me with the best dress for 40th dinner

[Whattodowithaminute]

My 40th birthday next month-dinner with friends in very naice London restaurant. Want to look amazing (better than my size 14/16 body-busty with too much of a mum run) diet in progress but half a stone is probably all I will manage...
Hit me with your amazing dress options. Happy with up to £500 for a killer dress.
Planning on going shopping for said dress and will provide live updates but will have restricted time so want to narrow down which shops I should hit first...

Your dress is beautiful. Lovely in red too. Have a great night.

Ooh Remus !
I can just imagine how many pairs of tights I would ruin in those VW smashers!

The snowflake dress is stunning.

AnneKipanki - I'm going to message you when I need help, you would be a great person to go clothes shopping with!! :D
