Please help me find a maxi dress with sleeves

Going away for a city break and would love to recreate this look; already have the jacket and boots but the dress is evading me. ..plenty on the high street but they're mostly sleeveless or with a cap sleeve; I need long or 3/4 sleeves.... It cannot be too dressy or pattern too bright/summery as where I'm going is not that warm; would prefer a blackish background, ideally winter florals..... Oh and high street or London shops.... not much to ask huh? Grin. Would be open to perhaps a maxo skirt which I could wear with a black roll neck if unable to find a dress I like. .. Thank you in advance!

*maxi skirt

And the dress is for sightseeing during the day, hence nothing too dressy...

Thank you Fox. I like the Miss Selfridge skirt but not sure if it will be a little bit grannish.... ASOS dresses very nice but too dressy; I need it to be a little bit sexy as well so a v neck would be ideal. The last three are lovely but trying to channel cool more than hippy iykwim Wink.

This is gorgeous material and comfy! I have the sleeveless version.

Toast maxi

Thank you both. They're both more demi than maxi; looking for something with a hint of sexiness as well as those might be too demure. ...

These would be perfect were they maxi. ... a little bit sexy with the v neck and more cool than hippy/grungy.

Baukjen?

NoMoreMrRight · 25/03/2016 21:16

Thank you Smile. Love Baukjen, that dress would have been perfect but only size 6 left. ..I'm a 14 ggrrrr.

I never bought anything from Boohoo, how's their quality? Worried that with those prices it might look a bit cheap as I'm looking at a silky fabric. ...

plain dress in a 14...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/03/2016 21:28

Blue stars Looks as if it might not be terribly flattering though.
Too Goth?
Lovely but strappy and v expensive Could maybe layer a rollneck over it?

NoMoreMrRight · 25/03/2016 21:44

Thank you all for all the suggestions. The Whistles one with had it been with long sleeves (and cheaper! ) would have been perfect. .... not keen on block colours, would prefer a pattern and a 'flowy' material

I have this Whistles skirt and love it, but they don't seem to be doing anything similar now.

Just eyeing this up:
m.asos.com/mt/www.asos.com/ASOS-Tall/ASOS-TALL-Paisley-Maxi-Dress-With-Plunge-Front/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5703450

Trying to ignore that I'm not tall, you might be though.

H&M?

dibly · 25/03/2016 22:31

Love this www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/product/Issa/Karen-printed-jersey-maxi-skirt/738243 but spendy. Have you tried tk maxx? Online is useless but have found good daytime maxi skirts and dresses instore.

WonderingAspie · 25/03/2016 22:54

OP where are those 2 dresses from that you put the pictures on? I really like them.

NoMoreMrRight · 25/03/2016 22:57

Thank you, great links! I like the Asos dress but probably not tall enough for their tall range, I could perhaps have it shortened? I'll also have a look at the H&M one; like the pattern but it looks like it could be a little baggy on the top...

Thank you all again Smile
