Maxi skirt - straight cut, not full, without a side split/split at front. Any in the shops please?

I've decided I need to go back to my tried and trusted maxi skirts in this weather. But I can't find one that doesn't have yards of material and adds bulk to my 14/16 figure. I want a fairly straight cut one but not too tight and clingy, and not with a slit at the front or side (which what all the shops seem to have).
I had a nice one from Gap a couple of years ago, but not having any luck this year.
It doesn't have to be totally maxi length, can be calf length but at least below knee.
Anyone know of any?

White stuff have done a few in the past. Jersey ones but fairly lightweight.

I have always sized down from a 12 to a 10 as they fit neater which i like. Also try ebay for white stuff maxi's. Some lovely prints in the past too.

Mantaray by debenhams usually has some or try adini website.

Thanks everyone. I like the Adini and White Stuff ones, although I don't normally brave patterns. And the ebay 3.99 skirts seem a bargain!
