Help finding longer short dresses please

I'm 5'9" and having trouble finding dresses that cover my horrible knees.
Not looking for a maxi.
Fitted shift dress - up to £100 in sale.
Need one for a wedding.
But also just generally.
The only ones I seem to see are designer £££££.
They look so much more flattering than shorter ones on me.
(I've just seen rochelle out of The Saturdays in a pink dress at someone's wedding today in papers - that's the right length .... Although she might be 4'11" !!!)
Any ideas ? Thanks

Planet, Jaeger and Whistles dresses all tend to be a decent length.

ASOS TALL is worth a look too.

Thanks wildflowers. I actually bought a Jaegar one in sale today but think I'll return because it sits just above knee. Would look so much better at just half an inch/inch longer.
I didn't even realise that Asos had a tall section - thanks for tip- will have a look.

What about looking for a midi length then taking it up?

Phase eight have some nice fitted dresses that come up just below the knee on me, and I am 5ft 10

Also worth looking at Boden as a lot of their dresses are available in two lengths.

Long Tall Sally have got an extra 10% off some dresses and free delivery, finishes today. I think returns are free also.

Some of them are OK, its a bit mixed. I've had the odd one from there and the fit is very good, I'm 5ft 10.

Might be worth ordering a couple to see if its free delivery and returns.
