Help finding a black tie ball gown to suit my shape and colouring

I’d love some help please.

I need to find a dress but ideally a gown to wear to a black tie ball at the end of June. I need to be able to dance in it.

I’m 5 foot 3 and a hourglass size 12 but on my way to size 10 thanks to weight loss injections. I’m a jewel winter with pale skin, hazel eyes and dark brown hair. I don’t suit high necklines.

Budget up to £500 - I really want to look good!

I found two gorgeous gowns on the outnet from Marchesa Notte but one is navy which is a colour I don’t think would suit even though I love the style.

the other I love the look of but I’m not sure of the colours in the floral details.

all suggestions gratefully received

I don't like either of them. I particularly don't like the floral one. I usually really like floral dresses but the split is some sort of weird attempt to sexify up a floral dress. It would be much nicer without the split.

I don't like dresses with splits and the navy one in particular will be a pain to wear sitting down or dancing.
