Recommend me a dress for the races!

I'm going to the races in a couple of weeks, not 'a big one' but still in a nice stand and I am trying, and failing to try find a dress!

I keep coming across things like this but not sure if they are a bit 'middle aged' (I am middle aged!) www.finerylondon.com/products/robyn-red-ditsy-crepe-midi-tea-dress?variant=51913407234380&currency=GBP&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACT40YSIv8aGAj6puETyCHdRdkYIR&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2tHABhCiARIsANZzDWqQ2RRO0jseqstTl-Ju_FFuDIC8XoEXR3IQWF31PD_vFgyLfqyAmdsaApyxEALw_wcB

I'm 46, size 12/14, 'classic' style, looking to spend up to about £75 as WFH and would rarely wear a dress! Any ideas?

The dress you have sent a link to is very nice and is suitable for the races. Hope you have a lovely time.

Is there a dress code for your stand OP?

Is there a dress code for your stand OP?

Just says 'smart attire' but it's more Chester/York type of races than Ascot.

I rather fancy it myself! It's got a lovely vintage feel.
