Help me! Amazing dress for a black tie/summer wedding

Hi all

Grasping around for ideas. My very long time gay best friend is getting married this summer, and the invitation has arrived requesting black tie/glam for the reception. Where do I look?!

So a summary: budget up to £300 (though if you have something ridiculous to throw in to the ring then go for it!) I’m very petite in stature, 5ft on my best day. Size 8/10, but due to the very petite frame, not especially slender so not massively in to figure hugging on the hips/lower tummy, although suit some waist definition to avoid looking like a tent. I also like the tops of my arms to be covered, no strapless/spaghetti straps please.

Happy with some cleavage or knee length legs on show, although that doesn’t inspire a lot of black tie looks.

Basically wanting to have an idea of what you’d wear to your fantasy gay best friends wedding for some inspiration. Be as creative as you desire, I need help!

Club L London will have loads of options for black tie. I'm sure they actually have a black tie section on their website.

Possibly not enough arm coverage, but I love the Reiss one

Ooh or Wolf and Badger - plenty to look through but this is quite “statement” in red?
