Dressy (but not fussy!) party wear for 50-something size 16-18

I'd appreciate all advice on this upcoming work trip that's happening in mid-December. It's basically a series of parties where I'll need to wear something different at least some of the nights (!) and need about four to five dresses. I'm 168cm, huge breasts, will want to cover my arms and can't wear heels. I never feel right in patterns, lean towards dark colours. Are there any labels I should be focussing in on at Vinted? I'm right out of my comfort zone here... A lot of people will be seriously glam, but I just need to be smart. A lot of thanks in advance for all tips...

Scarlett and Jo have lots of nice dresses which are very flattering - I’ve had a couple from there.
