I need a dress for saturday as am going to lunch and a cabaret/craft day and don't want to wear my usual scruffs

INFO:
I am 5ft9 (long of torso) and size 18
I want knee length (or as near as possible)
Sleeveless –or v loose sleeves (chunky of arm)and will wear long cardi anyway
Preferably no zips or buttons at the back (too annoying to try and get in/out of by yourself)
Suitable for day-evening (nothing too dressy)
Max £55 preferably less
Must be available to order online.
Colours – not too fussed but I am v pale with blonde hair and blue eyes, so black/navy/grey/burgundy/dark red would be nice. I will be wearing black tights and flats

Thanks in advance- will check in again tonight as must really do some work!

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
I like the teal and grey ones you suggested Faux
I am so fussy I think as I have in my head this miracle dress that ticks all my boxes whilst also managing to hide my heftiness

Keep 'em coming -thank you Smile

Tesco Pinafore Vertical seams are always good for pulling things in and the pleats down from waistband may be useful. Like a shift dress but more flattering.
Similar but patterned Says prom dress but a long coloured cardi would dress this down in Lily Allen style.

Think I've realised I want something more daytimey (change of brief) so I will be having a peruse of the net at lunchtime,
