Any fancy a dress hunting challenge?

So, I'm in need of a dress for a black tie do in 2 weeks.

I'm:
5'1", size 14-16, pale skin, long dark brown hair.
My problem areas are my tummy (I have big knickers) and my chubby tops of my arms

I will be wearing heels of around 4" high (I have colour options)

Looking for:
A dress, ideally either black, burgundy in colour (open to other colours though) happy for it to be midi or maxi in length. Open to sequins/sparkles, embellishments, etc
Some kind of sleeve (short/fluttery type is my usual go to so it's not right on my arms)

Don't want to spend more than £150

It's so typical that when I was looking for a different type of dress earlier in the year, all I could find was beautiful black dresses and now I can't seem to find any!

I've just bought a dress from pretty kitty and I'm impressed with them. This one might suit you.

Monsoon is my go to for occasion wear.

I really like this but it might be too short for you. There are loads of others though.

Something on the lines of this

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/scarlett-jo-victoria-midi-dress/black/p6360512?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=
