Airy long sleeve maxi shirt dresses

Due to illness/treatment I need some more appropriate summer clothes to keep covered but cool (I'd managed to accumulate some clothes I love but can't fit into now/don't cover me up). I saw this image and thought a long airy shirt type dress with long sleeves in a cotton/other cool fabric might work. Even better if it doesn't crease/matter if it creases. I'd accessorise with hats/scarfs (I have hair loss too) and gold jewellery. White or black might work.
Has anyone seen anything similar?

M&S is doing a lot of Hush style stuff this year but in natural fabrics, this one is my favourite.

Sorry about that rubbish link. Work better?

Doing a search for kaftans might help. Arket have a few long kaftan style maxis, quality is lovely

Thanks Count. That MandS one is promising. Will work my way through the Zara options too.

I don't know if jersey fabric is any good for you, but I bought this recently from Amazon, it is a lovely floaty fabric and doesn't crease - I have just come back from holiday and it didn't crease at all in my suitcase.

Also if you google Lagenlook you'll get lots of ideas for cotton/linen floaty dresses and tops. Good luckThanks

I can't comment on quality or fit but I was only just looking at these earlier, nice price and if it suits your needs you can have one in each colour. There are similar ones at the bottom of the page too.

Thank you for all these. I'm ordering. I'll initially try to get a plain one as in my OP and then will branch out into more interesting ones with a view to being more mobile.
