Dress for a ball

Stylish MNetters help please. I’m going to a ball at the end of July. It’s a large multicultural event and the women tend to wear brightly coloured showstopper dresses or colourful national dress. I’ve been before and felt drab in comparison in my standard navy or black evening dress. So this year I’d like to ramp it up and take the opportunity to wear something different. I’m 60, size 14, don’t mind showing legs, cleavage, arms but tummy is always a problem as apple shape. As I want to buy something different to usual I may not wear it again, so looking for cheap and cheerful. Up to £200 but hopefully less. TIA

Would this float your boat? It's on sale and in your size.

That’s beautiful Shetland thank you. Have you had dresses from LBD and know what their sizing is like?

I'm afraid not.

That Needle and Thread one is a good shout thank you and a good price compared to others on their website
