Dress tall/plus size comfortable & flattering on my middle

I am after a dress to wear for a family meal (I don’t normally wear dresses often) that is comfortable, not overly warm (so not woollen or polyester as I find the fabric too warm and itchy). I am mid fifties tall 5’10’, plus sized (size 22) with a very round tummy (which I would like to disguise/minimise).

Ideally, under £100. I ordered this in desperation with 20% off www.saharalondon.com/clothing/dresses/botanic-floral-print-dress.htm

The colours are lovely, length is great and print would be fab if I spilled something. But the shape and overall look does absolutely nothing for me and looks very old fashioned and matronly. I was going to wear it with some tan casual boots, opaque tights, nice necklace and earrings and get my hair done.

Just ordered 7 dresses from Next and they are all going back. A couple were nice dresses but they all just really emphasised my tummy.
