HELP! got a ball in November and need an outfit

[coffeestrongblacknosugar]

5,4 size 20/22 got a waist but perimenopausal so tummy. Desperately trying to lose weight but its a very slow process.
I dislike my legs so need midi or maxi - also cannot wear high heels at the moment due to spinal issues, so need low/block heel. (I should be put down)

Ideally something that I can wear again. I suit jewel colours. I have a black velvet jumpsuit on standby!

This is really nice for a ball but there's lots of nice stuff in the occasionwear dress section:

If you’re not keen to pay these prices, you could have a look on dress hire or pre-owned sites for Marina Rinaldi pieces. (The older, the better, probably.)

This comes in loads of different colours

some great choices there. Some very nice MR - but also some shapeless ones. I do like the velvet Scarlett and Jo ones.
