Looking for a maxi dress

Should be easy right? Seemingly not. I’m looking for a proper floor grazing strappy maxi with a beachy and/or ethereal vibe. I’m 5’6, size 10, small boobs so bra not an issue but also want them relatively secure/covered. Not polyester!!
I suit bright cool toned colours
budget up to £100
Can you help?

Sew a pull on strapless bra with inserts into the dress.. I step into mine..at 64 my chest is securely held if I do this... you could just wear a pull on stretch strapless bra .. I like to sew mine in.. keeps everything where it should be.. and step into it....

Or this one, also from Monsoon Dress

I loved this one. It's wild and sweet!

I've done really well for maxi dresses on vinted. I often find they're nicer than ones in the shops. I usually go for Monsoon as I find them very flattering.

Go for something from eBay. I put in ‘Mango’ ‘silk’ ‘maxi’ and took one minute to find these lovely dresses.

This is a silk mix quite full proper maxi...£49.99 - the Gold would be lovely but I've linked to the Navy as you said cool jewel colours suit you

Ghost are also good for slip dresses.....the model in this pic is 5' 10, so it would be a maxi on you.

My thread has come back to life, so thought I’d give an update. Mint Velvet dress had a very strange neckline, much higher than the picture so sadly it went back. PP above suggested Free People which I love but hadn’t found a dress that was quite right until this popped up… https://www.freepeople.com/uk/shop/santa-maria-maxi-dress?color=067&size=5000
it’s perfect.
