Why can I not find a dress like this?

Please help me, I have searched many shops and the entire internet it would seem. I thought I was looking for something very simple, but it would seem not, so please can you all find it for me?

Casual summer dress, jersey/t-shirt material, midi length, it at least over the knee, empire line/tiered, must have a 'proper top' not sleeveless, minimum would be a cap sleeve, happy with round or v neck. I bought this from M&S the other day and it is absolutely perfect but I'm not very keen on the other 2 colours. I definitely don't want above the knee or maxi, nor do I want cotton or linen. I'm looking for something as comfortable as a nightie and hides a multitude of sins.

I'm early 40's and a good size 14 if that helps. Thanks!!

Boden has some. I've also seen similar at John Lewis recently.

Seasalt Seed Packet dresses. Just like your description.

Seasalt April short sleeve dress would fit the bill - I’m wearing mine at the moment having bought it last week and it’s so comfortable. I will definitely be getting another one in a different colour before very long. And they have pockets! https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/short-sleeved-april-organic-cotton-jersey-dress

I like Seasalt Chapelle dress. It comes in prints but there's normally at least one plain colour.
