I want to feel good about myself

I have an awards do end of October. It’s a creative crowd and I have no idea what websites to look at for an outfit (can’t get out to the shops). It’ll be fancy but trendy. Can’t wear something that needs fancy big heels! I’m 35 and 5’9. Size 14 with big boobs so need a bra. Any ideas would be most appreciated please. I have no confidence since babies. I also hate patterns and anything in your face!
Thank you if anyone sees this and responds

High waisted wide leg trousers, if you wear flats get them tailored. Figure hugging top - I’d go with Reformation and less Club London…

Spend more time and money investing in prepping your hair, skin, teeth and makeup in the weeks running up to it.

Sat at a dining table or standing schmoozing at a drinks reception people will be focusing on your face and personality. So be groomed, glowing and sparkling with confidence.

Wear something simple - start with great supportive underwear / shapewear and wear this when you go shopping - KEEP AWAY from the JL / Phase 8 dresses.

I would go for a trouser suit in a beautiful material, maybe silk? Go for a rich colour.
