Help me find a dress for "lounge suit" event?

I'm going to a dinner at the end of the month and the dress code is "lounge suit". I need a new frock and I'm really struggling to find anything I like and that would suit me. I'm 45, 5'7", size 14, pear shaped but big boobs so need to be able to wear a bra and have decent coverage.
I really like this Mango dress but it's OOS for anything over size 12.
Budget up to c£100 but ideally less as I'm probably going to need shoes too (and that's whole other battle!)

"Lounge suit" as a dress code to me reads as "smart casual", so would any thing here work for you?

Maybe something like this might suit:

I would go something like these for shoes:
Shoes 1
if you can. Otherwise go for something completely flat like these:
Shoes 2

"Lounge suit" just means it's not black tie or evening wear- so office suit. It's smarter than "smart casual". That gives you loads of choice- basically any dress that isn't beach wear or an evening dress.
