Black shirt dress?!

I'm all hot and bothered after a day in work during this heatwave and have just seen a very cool looking lady wearing a lovely black wrap/shirt dress which I think would be perfect for office days.

It was about knee length, had a tie wrap at the waist but looked like a false wrap and definitely more of a shirt dress. I'm kicking myself for not asking her where it was from as I would love something similar.

Has anyone seen anything similar? Ideally I would like it knee length as my job is conservative and in a nice cool material but given we don't have many hot days under £50 if possible!

I realise this is a long shot, but I had a black shirt dress from Asda about 7 summers ago. I have also had a red shirt dress from Joules, which gets loads of compliments, and Jaeger is often quoted as the source of shirt dresses on here.

H&M have one in a very dark navy blue but it could be a bit short on you im afraid.

H&m dresses quite often come up very short on me but will have a look. It needs to be quite corporate though I suppose so maybe Jaeger might be more suitable. Are they not really pricey though? Off to Asda to buy gin tomorrow so will also look out for dresses!

Thank you all! I love the Hobbs one but it's out of stock. It did look very similar to the SimplyB one, what are they like to order from? Is it an account?
