Help with a dress for my hen party?

My hen party is on Saturday and I still need something to wear. I thought I'd cracked it with a dress from Coast but I think it's just slightly too dressy.

I don't know what I'm doing but my MOH has said that's along the right lines but slightly too dressy. I tend to over dress normally so don't mind looking a bit daft but it just feels too poofy when I've tried it on.

It's at the top of my budget at £100, I'd prefer to spend about £50. I prefer dark colours, I would like straps as I only have one bra at the minute which has straps (loosing weight so haven't been buying many bras). I'm undecided on anything too form fitting as I've got a mum tum which shows zero resistance to bloating after eating the tiniest thing. I'm a size 12, 5ft8, fairly big boobs that I don't like to have out too much and will wear black heels.

I used to really like wearing 50s style full skirt tea dresses before but they just don't feel like me anymore. I'm also very much not the type of woman who wears the tiny strappy dresses that I keep seeing on asos.

God someone please help me!

I actually love the dress that you've picked. Plus it's your night so why not get dressed up! I have seen this one as well though ...

Ok so the link I posted says it's sold out but it's available in another colour but I can't post that link for some reason. Sorry!

Oh that is so beautiful but I can't find it in another colour on their site somehow either.
