Wanted: a beach dress, can anyone help!

I’m looking for something that is

-strappy (ideally adjustable straps)
-lightweight
-knee length (ie not really short)
-doesn’t look like it needs ironing, so can be scrunched up or worn damp and still look ok. That crinkly fabric would be nice but I’m not sure what it’s called!
-not elasticated waist but also, not too tent like. Some I’ve tried are completely A-line and just flare out front and back and make me look enormous.

I’m a 5f3 size 14 with big boobs. Has anyone seen anything that might fit the bill?

Try Next mini dresses but order a 14 Tall so it's knee length on you. I've got this one, it has adjustable straps, hangs nicely, it's just not the cheesecloth fabric you're after but I still wore it over my swimwear on holiday.

Thank you-I’ll have a look. I’ve had one in that tiered shape before and I looked a bit Michelin-man somehow, but I’ll try in the tall.

Cheesecloth-is that what it’s called!? Thank you!
