Can anyone help me find an evening dress?

Hi, I'm after some help please!

I'm going on a cruise in August and need a dress for the formal evening.

I'm a size 16 and I would ideally like some arm and leg coverage. In my mind it's a dress with some kind of chiffon overlay or cape style top half but I'm not sure if that's a thing!

Budget approx £100. Or less if possible!
Thanks in advance

That's really pretty but I'm not sure about the high neckline, I'm 47 and getting the odd hot flushBlush

I would get looking on ebay. There are thousands of pre loved dresses to choose from.

Something younger, gorgeous and a bit different.

What kind of style do you usually like @topdot?

This fits your idea of a chiffon overlay.

Thanks so much @AnnaKar
The trouble is I don't ever wear dresses, I'm very much a trousers and top kind of girl, so I don't really have a style! I love dark blues and purples, floaty tops, asymmetric hems, nothing clingy or fitted. Will have a look at the links, didn't even think of Vinted. Thank you
