Please help me find the dress!

Hello. I have a few Christmas functions coming up plus a 50th birthday party. I am looking for a dress which I can wear to all three. Luckily they are completely different functions with different people. My issue is I am not sure what suits me anymore!
I am 40 and a size 16/18. I have a really awkward body shape to dress. Small shoulders, small waist, large hips and bum! My upper half would be a size 12 that's how big a difference my body shape is.
I would like possible a green or black dress, something that hides the top half of my arms and something that can show a good cleavage!
Can someone help me find a dress to make me feel great!

Also to add. I hate my large hips. I am particularly wide and although I have a great waist I don't really feel comfortable embracing my curves

Lovely options but I would need something with sleeps to at least cover the top half of my arms. I have lost alot of weight and this has left me with a lot of loose skin so I am quote conscious about this. I'm also only 5 ft 5 so not sure if full length will suit me. Thank you though.

Sleeves not sleeps!

It's not green but I love this dress! It's from the Curve range which is v-neck but the standard range does a green version which isn't v-neck (I have the green one and really like it)
