Please help me find my perfect black maxi dress!

I've been looking for my perfect black maxi for a while now, but can never quite find the right thing. What I'd like...

  • Plain black, ideally t shirt type material. I'd like to be able to dress it up but also wear for everyday use.
  • I'm 5ft5, size 10 bottom, size 8 top. Something that comes in under the bust and then flares out is most flattering on me.
  • No split in the skirt part. My legs are horrific and can never be seen!
  • I'll be wearing it at work, so it cannot be strapless or spaghetti straps.

I've found a couple of dresses that are a similar style to what I'd like, but both are patterned...

I'm happy to spend up to £100 for the perfect dress, but would prefer to spend closer to £50 Grin

Thank you!!!

Oasis had some nice ones when I looked sometime ago. How about this?

Or thisOasis one might be more versatile.

This might be a bit baggy but looks very wearable.

Or Boden.

Stopping now but this is a better link for the original Oasis one.

Thanks! The Boden one looks like it could be the one Grin

Any other suggestions would still be great though...
