Last minute dress

Going away this weekend & have got dinner at Michelin starred hotel on Saturday night but have nothing to wear. Ordered some bits from Zara but nothing was quite right. Went to local department store but nothing was very smart- lots of autumn jumpers. Can anyone help with ideas under £200. Found some lovely dresses from Rails but need next day delivery. Can anyone help- am disappearing down a rabbit hole, searching on my phone for the past hour or two. I’m 5’2”, size 10-12. Any help would be amazing.

Could also be top with skirt or trousers too.

The last time I went to a Michelin starred hotel I wore a silver satin dress from French Connection, but there were plenty of people there who were less dressed up.

For last minute dresses I tend to try either Chi Chi London or Next, I usually find something suitable. To be honest I’ve even gotten a couple of lovely dresses from Boohoo last minute, which look a lot more expensive than they are.
It really depends on your style

Thank you- have found a few skirts I like the look of from Next which I pick up tomorrow, fingers crossed one of them works.

Have you looked on the phase 8 website? They're all pretty smart and are in the right price range.
