Anyone want to help me find the perfect knitted dress?

I've been looking for YEARS for a fitted/bodycon, below the knee dress made from wool or a high percentage of wool and have never found one, mainly because I am rubbish at shopping and don't know where to look. Budget - under £300 - ideally way under £300 but as I've been looking for so long I'm willing to splash out on something really good quality. Ribbed with a roll neck would be great, but I'm open to any styles. Prefer dark, neutral or jewel colours.

Update! The Rumour knitted dresses arrived today (the Andrea in Burgundy and the Adriana in Scarlet). Lovely and soft, perfect fit - bodycon but not super tight. But I don't like the gold buttons on the shoulders so returning. The sleeves with buttons look great but there's something not right about the shoulder ones and I need to love it for that price. Also the Scarlet one is a little see through with a black bra.

Links for those who are interested. I think the problem with the gold buttons is just that gold doesn't suit me and I never wear it. Thought they might be subtle enough not to matter but they're not.

Could you change the buttons if you like everything else?

Hmm I didn't think of that. I thought about just removing them as I'd prefer no buttons, but there's a smooth stripe on the shoulder with buttons that the other shoulder doesn't have so it would look strange. I don't think I can be bothered to find suitable new buttons tbh, don't love the dresses quite enough!

Loads of other options on this thread to try though so not giving up the search!
