Chambray dress help

I have been looking everywhere for a shirt dress. I am an hour glass, 16 bottom, 18 top, so it needs to be semi fitted to show that I have a waist, and not patchy faded denim.

I really like this but it seems to be all sold out www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/DRESSES/Short-Dresses/DENIM-PUFF-SLV-SHIRT-DRESS.html ALso like this www.petiteaffair.co.uk/home/p-637-ink-linen-shirt-dress.aspx but not in linen!
Any help to find semi fitted similar dress in dark blue (or even black) , much appreciated, thank you :)

enormous

Thankyou very much tethersend. The first 3 have too much gather on the skirt, it would take off from my well rounded hips! Last one looks promising though, thanks for the sizing tip too :)

This was really nice on but too long for me (i'm a shorty)

Hope the link works..

Which one was too long for you Kate? I'm only 5'3". The M&S one is linen, bit too creasy for me (I have the ability to look scruffy at the best of times!!)

Does it need sleeves?

Yes, sleeves please and a straight skirt or slightly A line. Thanks for looking BramblyHedge :)

Same height as you, it just felt a bit long. I know exactly what you mean about the crumpled look! There's a denim one on Joe browns but the dropped waist belt thing did nothing for me. Hope you find one, I'd be interested too.

Sorry, it was the m&s one that was long.
