Dresses suitable for short, skinny, over 50, with wrinkly knees?

So… I’m short (5’3”), thin, small boobs - basically a small person! I’m also just over 50 and my knees have recently got wrinkles!! I’m feeling quite self conscious about them and would like to replace my shorter summer dresses with longer ones. However, I’m having a lot of trouble finding dresses that don’t swamp me, or have necklines reaching my waist. I love maxi dresses but is the only way to go midi and hope for the best? Any ideas or experience of this?

I have a similar frame and often wear true vintage from fairs.
I wonder if joy or palava may have any ?

You'll either love or hate them but Boden petite dresses and maxi skirts tend to be really well proportioned.

I think this would work www.roman.co.uk/floral-print-fit-flare-tea-dress-14221282 I considered buying it yesterday but my stylist, aka 5 year old grandson , didn't like it. There was the same dress in cobalt in the sale but they didn't have my size

Thank you, I’ll check out those ideas.

I thought I’d left me Boden stage behind but may need to review!
