'Modest clothes'

I'm in desperate need of some new clothes but I can't seem to find anything that I like Confused
I'm looking for dresses/long tops which are below knee length and aren't revealing. Not for any particular reason apart from the fact that's what I feel comfortable in.
It's so frustrating of I find a dress that's ok in length it sleeveless/backless or something else like that. I don't mind layering with cardis etc but that's not even possible a lot of the time.
Anyone have recommendations on where to shop???

I think long sleeved longer dresses are like gold dust tbh. How about skirts with a top instead? There are loads of midi/maxi skirts in the shops and then you can wear them with a LS t-shirt or shirt.

Primark currently have a range of "t-shirt dress" which is a long loosefit tunic type, has short sleeves button could wear cardi over?

I have a couple of shirt-dresses that can be long sleeved, (including a denim one from F&F) but they're normally shown with the sleeves rolled up and buttoned with one of those annoyed straps that come from inside the sleeve.

Navy Next dress looks good, just ordered it, Also ordered a couple more things I had wanted to make postage worth it I'm always on the lookout for longer dresses being a bit hmm, older and tall.

I bought this recently in the long length,

Asos seems to have loads! I like the body on dresses but it's not q what I need at the moment- just had a baby so not feeling overly confidant Confused
