Does this look ok for a wedding celebration party (no ceremony)?

Context is southern Spain in mid-September, late afternoon and evening buffet and dancing in a fancy hotel but the hotel also have a pool party kind of vibe to it. Would imagine most guests (literally hundreds of them) will be European/ Middle Eastern, well-off, glam, and in their 30s. I am none of those things (not well-off, don't dress up, mid-50s, English).

I'm quite hard to dress - 5ft 2, don't show legs, a bit overweight, mid-50s, need natural fabrics but can't afford silk etc. This dress ticks the boxes in that the shape and colour suits, it covers my legs (more like a mid-maxi on me), shows my waist, and is cotton. Minus is that it possibly isn't dressy enough. I'd wear it with suede block platforms, jewellery and get a bag to try and make it look a bit more dressy. It's also quite booby on me, which I'm putting in the plus camp as it makes it feel more like a going-out than office dress on me.

I don't know if I'm overthinking it. Maybe the younger people will all be quite casual, I have no idea. Thoughts welcome! I did also get an Another Sunday dress which I liked but the proportions completely swamped me.

The dress looks lovely. It's absolutely fine for a wedding with fancy shoes and nice jewellery. The raspberry ones will look amazing with the blue dress and gold will look lovely with the red dress 😊

I did see a lovely raffia bag today! It had a green leather plaited strap. Someone was wearing it, not in a shop. I did think I might like one like that, for use in general.

Lots on next website. Some even with gold hardware to tie in with shoes.

You look GREAT in that dress, and I think the slightly chunky sandals make it look modern and are fab with it. That red colour is fab on you also. Wear it!
