ISO dressy black top fitted with cap sleeves

most dressy tops seem to be shown worn with skinny trousers so are loose in style, but I want to wear it with a full skirt so don't want volume on top. I also don't want sleeveless (tank style) as I have board shoulders and wobbly upper arms so a cap sleeve helps balance me out. It can be sparkly but would prefer not patterned. Skirt is a bright jewel colour. I realise it's quite a specific list but I've searched loads of websites and not found what I'm looking for! It must exist?
thanks in advance

this is the look I am going for, but my skirt is one colour. I'd love a top like the one in link, but don't mind if it is v neck or sweet heart.

You're right. There's not much out there.

This might work.

thanks for the link. Very nice. I was hoping for under £50 (wishful thinking...?) I hadn't thought of lace so will try my searches again but refine with lace as an option.

also I don't have board shoulders, but broad. can't find out how to edit my post!

Perhaps a bit pricey but they do sometimes have discount codes.

Does it have to be black? Boden have a lovely steel grey top which might work or a teal and black printed top.
