How to make a floral dress not look Twee?

I find dresses very difficult. I’ve ordered about 12 in the past couple of weeks looking for something for a 40th birthday party I’m going to. It’s at a nice country hotel type venue so I don’t want anything with too
much cleavage or short. I’m mid thirties, very tall 5ft10 and a 12/14 G cup boobs. I don’t suit long dresses or midi length or even very short dresses. Too much fabric in the bottom makes me feel massive. So having sent everything back that I ordered I’m back to an old one that I have in my wardrobe. It’s a black chiffon dress, v neck with rose details, just above the knee. The shape is perfect on me but I feel like it’s a bit twee. Is there anything I can do to make it look more up to date jewellery and shoe wise? I’ve attached one it’s similar feel to ( tighter sleeves on mine and above the kneess)

Love the dress in the OP. I'd wear it with heeled ankle boots and a leather jacket, but admit that's what I wear pretty much everything with!

Love the All Saints dress too.
