I've no suggestions OP, but @GettingStuffed that's beautiful - if you're 20 and a size 10! IMO of course...

There are loads on the Next website way below your budget. You could buy a few!

Rixo dresses sound very appropriate for you although maybe more than you want to spend with the exception of this one.

I'm still not sure what you're looking for- if it's glam evening maxis, I don't have maxi evening dresses but I have lots of maxi day dresses. I have the Klements pale blue. It gets loads of compliments. I'm considering getting the pink silk.

I have the Batsheva one in a different print. It's hated on here but in real life also gets loads of compliments.

The Cabbages and Roses is a lovely cotton lawn and very wearable, as they all are.

The Klements are lovely- bookmarked
You need a very big suitcase to get a Cabbage and Roses maxi dress in- they are not small!

This is an example of one, slightly over budget though
