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

[OneBusyFinch]

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

Would this suit your colouring?

Your dresses are lovely but seem quite wintry for June with the long sleeves and dark colours

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.

Sorry just realised my link isn’t right

meant this one

Thank you! @minipie that dress is lovely in the hibiscus tea colour and would suit my colouring

This is over budget but is lovely

This is under budget and is also lovely

this maybe? Only in a 12 from KM but it’s available elsewhere so may be other sizes findable

The hibiscus colour is beautiful

Do you like red?

This is a lovely choice. It will be perfect for the time of year and will have gorgeous movement if you're dancing in it!

Sorry but these would look awful on an hourglass… they’re for willowy sorts

Would you have any interest in a Rixo dress? I know nothing about fashion but I like the colour of this one ;

Thank you so much for all the suggestions and links - I enjoyed looking at different styles and discovering new brands.

This? I’m a size 12, also 5 foot 3 and wore this to my work Christmas do and loved it! Could dance in it too, but did have to keep pulling the neckline up as my bra was showing
