Help me find a dress for a black tie event

which is in october.
I know its a long time away, but I am Far Too Fat and so I want to find a dress I like to give myself a goal. I don't plan to buy the dress until September but I want to put pics of the dress everywhere to give me motivation to slim down a bit.

I am 5'7 and currently a size 20 roughly. I am not a girly girl but I do plan to get my nails/makeup etc done so as to be completely gorgeous and unlike me. I have a spare tire I wish to hide as much as possible, and I am a shape best described as a wheeble - I have acres of hips/butt/thighs and not much in the boob department.
I have dark brown hair, grey eyes, am pale and I have absolutely no idea what colour/s suit me.

I don't have a budget in mind, but I don't want to spend stupid money.

Lovely black and cream dress, love the "wow" bag but black shoes only. Cream ones always look like you're a bridesmaid.

have a massive trying on session in Monsoon to see what shapes / styles really suit you. Then you can target your search.
