Bright colours for a hen do next weekend

Going on a one day hen do next weekend, which has a request for everyone to wear bright colours. I'm finding that a lot of places have now switched into more muted colours for autumn and all the bright stuff in the sale is lightweight/ shortsleeved etc, which I'm worried will be freezing.

Im late 30s, 5'8, between size 18-20 and after having DD last summer, am rather self conscious about my tummy. Preference towards midi dresses really. Very conscious that the hen party will mostly be full of thin, glamorous, child free 30yr olds 😫

Usually buy stuff from Joules, Boden, Oliver Bonas, John Lewis. But nothing really grabs me as suitable. I just want to feel like pre baby me for one day.

Has anyone got any suggestions for places to look? Could prob go up to £100 for something that i can wear again!

Thanks @toomanychairs and @Plump82 ! Never heard of Nobody's Child before and those look like potentials. Love the ASOS yellow one but i hate polyester so might see if i can find something similar in a different fabric.

That Dawn O'Porter one might just be a bit too much for me! But they have some lovely stuff on that website - one to bookmark!
