Plus size dress for the races

I'm having a bit of a style crisis, which is sadly not unusual as I hate the way I look.
I am attending a work event at the races in two weeks and have been putting off choosing a dress as I'm dieting. I have gone from a size 20 to an 18 but doubt I will lose enough in two weeks to slip into a 16.
I cannot seem to find a nice outfit to wear and was hoping that someone may have something they can recommend.
I'm 5'10" and carry my weight all over so there isn't a particular part that I want to highlight or cover up! Please help!

Have you looked at Roman? Sometimes they have nice dresses

Roman and Yours are where I shop for plus size, they have some great maxi dresses

Scarlett & Jo may also be worth a look

Which races? Some are definitely more dressy than others

It's Chester so definitely not Royal Ascot dressy!

I just bought a very flattering maxi from Muthahood - I'm 18/20 and XL is slightly big, at 16/18 L would probably be ok. Their dresses are lovely.

Jac jossa pleated in the style dress - very flattering.. I'm 16/18

Check out Scamp & Dude and if you're on Facebook, follow the 'Scamp & Duders' page - full of fab woman, all shapes and sizes and the dresses are beautiful!

I saw this dress on Instagram and the woman looks great in it, she’s plus size:
