Simple knee length sleeveless summer dress?

Please can someone suggest somewhere I can get some simple summer dresses? Am thinking sleeveless, knee length, jersey/T shirt type material with slightly gathered waist so it doesn’t look completely shapeless on me (though if straight and fairly fitted it could be ok). I’ve ordered (and sent back) so many dresses now and not found anything at all! Thanks!

Collectif would be good for the shape you want and most of the dresses are made of cotton. A lot of them
would be a little bit longer than knee length though, depending on your height. (The mostly do 40s and 50s shapes.)

Oh, sorry, t shirt material. Didn’t notice that. Ah well, maybe have a look!

Uniqlo are generally quite good for that sort of thing. They have a range of bra-top summer dresses in at the moment.

I got some from Mountain Warehouse last year. They only had one style (in store - maybe more online) which was knee-length, the others were shorter but still just about ok for work. Ticked all the other boxes. I love them!

I have a couple of v neck cap sleeve tee shirt dresses from next which are literally just long tee shirts (just above knee). I'm pretty sure they also sell the ones with gathered waist though - as I've struggled to find those that don't have elastic or a tie waist (makes me look like a sack of spuds!)
