Date night/celebration dinner outfit

Me and my husband haven't been out for dinner/a date night for quite some time (in fact, for various reasons not been out much at all for a couple of years). We have something to celebrate so are going out for dinner to a local restaurant next week. It's a large country pub style place but elevated a bit beyond average pub style dining etc. I'm 47, 5ft2, between size 8 and 10 and would like to make an effort beyond usual jeans and a nice top etc, but am conscious about my stomach and boobs. What to wear? I'd like to wear some heeled ankle boots (I have in black and burgundy, thin heel and chunky), just not sure what type of outfit to go for, I always seem to feel too underdressed or too overdressed for dinner, can't ever seem to get it right.Ideas very welcome.... thanks.

Where do you usually shop? I’d wear a dress and ankle boots.

Yes to a dress. What's the budget? What colours suit you? Plain or patterned?

I think if you genuinely feel comfortable in a dress you won't feel over or underdressed but maybe that's just me! I love dresses. 😍
