Looking for a dress for a family do in August.

There will be people there I haven't seen for a long time, and I want to look good, but not like I've tried too hard!
Kids and adults, daytime, in a pub.

I'm 39, 5 foot 6, size 8. Good legs, big boobs, ok arms. Worst area is my stomach, so definitely don't want anything I have to breathe in in.

I avoid the more ditsy type floral prints these days as I find they can make me look older. I also don't tend to go for anything above the knee, but would consider it. I'm probably an autumn colour palette.

Budget around £50 to £60. Happy to consider Ebay/Vinted.

And some more ( one more expensive but then offers can be made).

Day dresses are quite hard to get right.
