Black jersey maxi?

I am sure there is someone who can help me.
I bought this dress on a whim the other day, having always presumed a maxi would swamp me - 5'4" and pear shaped Next Marl Jersey Maxi

It turns out that I love it, I feel really happy in it and I think it looks good.

Now I need it in black. Next have chosen not to do a plain black one. Can anyone find me one?
Size 14 and would pay up to £40 probably.
Keeping my fingers crossed ...
ps whatever you find, please reassure me it would look ok with these - my other recent purchase which I love Clarks Scent Flower

I raced to Oasis today to try the maxidress, thinking it would be the answer to all my sartorial problems somehow forgot I'm still breastfeeding which makes dress wearing impossible but that's another story

Dear god - I looked diabolical in it! I may as well have just drawn arrows on my F-cups, tummy, hips and arse and said 'look at these!!!!'

My fault really - still in pretty poor shape post-birth and have a lot of work to do. And it's made of viscose, which can be quite a heavily draping fabric (quite hard these days though to find clothes that aren't made of this stuff).

By the way, if anyone is looking for a maxi skirt, I can heartily recommend the Toast bamboo maxi skirt - lovely super soft breathable stretchy (but flattering) fabric, comfy rolldown waist and can be rolled up to make a strapless dress too. They don't sell it any more, but they do crop up on Ebay fairly regularly. Have worn mine before, during and after pregnancy and it's my favourite item of clothing.

Right, off to diet those lumps away now...
