Dress for fancy birthday dinner

[HGC2]

Looking for a nice dress that would suit a fancy restaurant but also be fine at the pub after, everything I see is sparkly and that’s not what I’m looking for! I’m 5 2 size 12, blonde hair, wear wrap dresses all the time to work and they suit me but I’d like something a bit different. Max budget £100, not sure on colour as I tend to be in black all the time

would live a longer and cheaper version of this! https://www.allsaints.com/women/dresses/auden-cosmic-print-mini-dress/W003DZ-5858.html?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=social_paid&utm_campaign=Croud_UK_Prospecting_ASC_BAU_Catalogue-Sales%28Sept2023%29_Facebook_Mobile_Feed&utm_content=Croud_UK_Prospecting_DPA_Sept2023_Catalogue-Sales_ASC+Ad+Set_ENG%28UK%29_Carousel_WinterLaunch_Oct23_Phase1_V2&utm_term=asc&fbclid=IwAR1PlHGqaEEp7-Nka4rwvfv6yM4PB7GhxnmiCb13M_hUgRK9NeJu_YzBiLE_aem_AaVhgeRyRL7VoKfpFdkbnhdQaRI6l2R2z9SyAuYUv2xGdC9b9dlwXOJDJd9mQ6bwiwKz02ZlSdjP4l0BD6kMtyk9

No idea if it will be to your taste obviously... but

I have this Sosander wrap dress in the leopard print (I can't say the other prints do it for me at all) and it's SO flattering. Incredibly comfortable too.

I wore it out for a fancy meal recently and it felt right. I think it would be OK for the pub too...

Oh sorry, I didn't read your post properly that you don't want a wrap dress.

I like this... https://www.omnes.com/products/odette-dress-in-magenta?variant=44047029371104&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAr8eqBhD3ARIsAIe-buOvSV7XjNeuu2UGEwkrhlf_Y4Tx2-7DNOEsyMS44MiaSUsQQRbQ1dMaAt4AEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Bit of a random one but this is quite cute (might not be dressy enough though): https://onenationclothing.com/products/printed-cold-shoulder-frill-wrap-midi-dress-with-floral-bird-print-in-green-white?variant=39862031548592&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&wi=off&srsltid=AfmBOorCyG3N8breECchIu8pfeuAwbyI82xJhYrw8juxMBsABYSXrqk11Wc

I love this but think it might cling to my stomach too much, I do love the wrap too but trying to avoid!
