Style for 4 yr old... A light long sleeved cover up for summer

Hi, hoping some of you have come across something you can recommend please.

I'm looking for a light, floaty long sleeved top, probably a blouse / shirt, for my DD to wear in summer to keep her skin covered and offer a bit of sun protection. I don't need a factor 50 top, just something like a cotton or linen blouse to throw on over her vest etc (on top of sun cream) to keep her skin out the sun on holiday. Ideally plain white / cream / pale grey so it goes with everything. Maybe a little but of embroidery or cut out work or something to make it pretty.

Any ideas gratefully received - all the stuff I've seen online is short sleeved or like a school shirt Hmm

Next have a white embroidered one £18.
Sorry don't know how to link.

If you are covering up sun cream white may not be a great idea as sun cream stains it really badly. Yellow might be a better colour.

Monsoon/accessorize always have a lovely selection of summer and beach items for children and adults.

Next, Vertbaudet and Laura Red out ones are all lovely and would fit the bill except I forgot to say I want button up front / open front so it's more like a little jacket for her to slip on over clothes when she's feeling a bit hot when I decry she's had enough sun

Off to look at Monsoon and Jojo now. Huge thanks for replies

If anyone is following then I think I've found a kimono top in monsoon which will do. Also it occurs to me a kimono top is a really simple shape to make, so I might look out for a light floaty blouse in a charity shop and make a couple more of these
