Ball dress help (please!)

Please help!

I’m going to a ball in August and am REALLY stuck for a frock. I am 40, size 12, fairly toned (but not as much as I would like to be) and suit warm colours. It’s not fancy dress but has a sort of Hollywood glamour vibe.

I’m not super confident but would like to look nice. I can’t do strapless (don’t have the assets to hold it up!) and I definitely don’t feel comfortable not wearing a bra. I’d secretly love to wear some sequins if I can find the right dress.

Ceiling is probably £200 and I would be very happy with something from Vinted or EBay.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Club L London is great for the type of dress you're looking for.
