Urgent! 1970s top required pronto!

Help!

I'm going to see Mud (your tiger feet, alright now!!) at the end of next week and OBVIOUSLY I need to party like it's 1975, right?

I've got a pair of bell bottom trousers in a toothache-inducing pink/orange design via Vinted. I've got some platform sandals. I've got a 1980 Lurex blazer that will do. But I need a top to go under said blazer!

I was a teenager in 1975 but had no money for fashion and I don't clearly remember what the trendy girls were wearing (Bay City Rollers and all things tartan were def NOT trendy in my friendship group). I have an idea that something shortish on the body with flared sleeves might work, or maybe a shirt with enormous collar points.

But I don't have a teenager's figure any more. I'm quite well endowed in the boob department and I would prefer not to have my midriff on show (the rest of the world might agree). And I want to pay as little as possible because I doubt I'll wear this outfit again! To top it all it needs to arrive by next Thurs at the latest -

Can any of you shopping wizards find me something suitable? Size 12+ in current money, prob a 16 in 1970s sizing. Don't really care how daft it looks!

Not a halter neck, btw; I remember those being in fashion but my boobs were too big for them in the 1970s and they're definitely too big now!

Check out the Joanie website?

Thanks but the prices on there are way more than I would want to pay for what is effectively going to be a fancy dress outfit! But I do appreciate the suggestion.
