Trying again for help with an interview outfit- this time with links to entice you all!

So, I'm desperate for help finding a dress/skirt to wear for an interview.

I'm 5'11", size 20/22, and very curvy- big boobs, small (in proportion!) waist, big bum/childbearing hips Grin. My legs are long, but my knees are chunky, so I like to keep them covered.

I ordered this dress, which I love the look of. The top part is ideal, but the bottom half is dreadful-the dress is too straight for my big bum and hips, and it rides up, exposing my knees and thighs.

I also ordered this jacket, and these shoes in an attempt to look smart, and they are fine.

Please help me find a dress to go under the jacket and on top of the shoes, that doesn't make me look like Betty Boop blown up Grin Ideally, it would be blue with a subtle pattern (I like the polka dots), with a wraparound/cross over top, but a longer, more flary-outy skirt (notice how up on Fashion-speak I am Grin )

Not a wraparound top though

Wallis similar to the above

Thanks for looking daft skunk, I thought I'd broken Mumsnet for a while there!
Both of those are the right style skirt, but neither would be long enough on me, so would be above my knees. The necklines are also too high, so I'd be all boob.

I suppose I'm looking for quite a long, ankle length skirt,but not a maxi, which is something that's not fashionable at the moment, unfortunately.

What about trousers to go with the jacket (doesn't have to be a complete match) and a wraparound top? Might be easier and more use afterwards than a dress?

Trousers might be ok...I've got some that look lovely, but they're too old now. They're a very wide leg, with high elasticated waistband (I find most formal trousers just don't fit my bum and hips and don't come up high enough on my waist).

Any suggestions?
