Could someone please help me find a sundress?

I would like to find a good classic sundress for wearing over a bikini on holiday, but solid enough (not a beach dress or see through) to wear in a city on very hot days for sightseeing. I have just spent an hour searching at my usual online shops with no luck

I would like knee length or below the knee, straps or perhaps even a halterneck, preferably a loose fitting, not a maxi and not jersey (I am thinking crisp cotton). It can't be too young in style and I would like a pattern or at least some detailing. I think in my head its a slightly fifties style.

Reading back, no wonder I can't find it, it seems impossible. Anyone seen anything?

Ah, I have just bid and won this on ebay

Thank you all for the links as it really helped me think about what I wanted, square neckline, 50s soft shape, small print and to find it on ebay.

I shall waft about the greek islands with a floppy hat, flat sandals and this dress (well actually I will no doubt wear it to lug baby in sling and corrall 3 year old and bribe with pizza to try and get them to behave on ferries, but it doesn't hurt to dream).

Asks, I love all of those, particularly the first one. Two new websites to look at too thank you. Perhaps I need two dresses.
