Dress ideas needed for 40+ year old

HELP! With only 6 months to go I need to find a dress that is reasonably simple with 3/4 length sleeves. I've been married before and have 2 small children so will need to be able to move about reasonably freely. Happy to go knee to ankle length. Has anyone seen or chosen anything that could help?

The woman who owns the shop I got my dress from is a seamstress and she said 90% of dresses can be made tea length. She also had some really nice little tricks like jackets and capes to change the top of a dress (if you're anywhere near Yorkshire I can't reccomend Cinderellas in Skipton highly enough she's fabulous)

GuCi Designs on etsy.co.uk. They're a tailor made shop from china and can make any alterations to your desired design you want. Their communication during the process is brilliant and my dress arrived 4 weeks after I ordered. I only paid £160 including delivery and it's better than any dress I could've found in a shop. Happy hunting 😊
