What style of dress do I want?

[Summerhillsquare]

O stylish ones, does this cut of dress have a name?

I happened upon this in a charity shop and it's sooooo flattering on me. Photo attached, it probably doesn't show evidence of this to you but I'd be immediately banned if I put up a photo of me in my normal clothes.

This one is ASOS, polyester, sort of a ponte fabric but fabric not important, it's the cut. High waisted , kimono? Sleeve, just below knee..I'd be so happy to find another dress like this!

How about this from Lipsy at Next...

Looks like tulip style dress

How about taking to a dressmaker and having another made?

I have a very similar dress, mine is Tara Jarmon and I do know those sleeves are batwing - apart from that I would describe it as a fitted dress (with darts) which is probably not at all helpful, sorry!

Hadn't thought of that description, thank you.

Here's a few with similar shape if it helps:

Thanks, I had a good trawl through ASOS earlier but the wrap front is not very me. I like my knees covered!

I'd love this but no idea where to start. Or could I do it myself?!

Pretty Kitty has similar style dresses in different prints:
