Tailored black dress for funeral

Hi
Could someone help me source a lovely fitted black dress? I will sadly be attending a funeral soon and I'd like to buy something elegant and tailored. Ideally I would like the dress to have a square neckline as I'm largish up top and high necks look dreadful on me. I also need it to have arms, short sleeved at least, but ideally elbow or 3/4. It needs to be at least knee length, but preferably a bit below (I'm 5'9 so could be an issue). I'm a 10 or small 12 (although 8 in Next or M and S), sort of hourglass (although don't have tiny waist)
Budget flexible, but up to £200, bit more if it's perfect.
Thanks

I. Bought this next dress for a funeral last month. I am 5'10 and it came to the knee, useful pockets for hankies etc. It looked good, hit all the right curves and at £35 I never have to wear it again and all it's memories.

There was another thread recently with some lovely dresses.
My advice is go crazy and order everything you like online, try on everything til you find 'the dress'. Slogging round the shops in the days before a funeral is horrible, feelings of panic and desperation.

The hardest job was getting my Dd into something appropriate that fulfilled her preteen fashion ideas.
