What do I wear to a ball??

If I'm a)5'11 and b)5 months pregnant. My husband has a work event in a couple of months, which happens to be a formal ball in a real-life castle(!!) and I have no idea what to wear.

At the moment I'm a size 10 but obviously my body is going to start changing soon. Also very pale with dark brown hair and I'm early twenties. Has to be formal and floor length and not too revealing. Husband is wearing his work dress uniform which is navy blue.

Any suggestions welcome!

Forgot to say, budget is under £150 preferably!

These are from Seraphine - the floral one is over budget at £179 but there is 10% off of you sign up to emails. The glittery one is £99

Might also be worth looking at rental or Vinted?

Could you hire a dress?

I second (third?) renting. Worked well for me on a recent event

Tiffany Rose is another brand to look at, since they don't get worn much I would look on Vinted as some of them are out of your budget new, but below could be options.

This website has a number of evening dresses to rent that would work https://forthecreators.co/collections/one-time-rental?filter.p.m.custom.purchase_option=One-time+Rental&filter.v.option.size=S&filter.v.option.size=10

I've got a floor length dress from Morgan with an elastic waist. There are loads on Vinted
