Looking for smart long sleeve maxi

[Octopuscrazy]

A challenge for you all you super style and beauty super sleuths.

I'm after what is looking more and more impossible

I want a dress that fulfils the following criteria for my graduation ceremony in two weeks

1. Maxi
2. Long sleeve
3. NO CUT OUTS/ low v's
4. Smart
5. Size 14
6. Delivery before 10th Nov so if I don't like it I have time to order something else
7. Budget upto £200

No one?

What do you mean by smart. I found this dress which comes in about 5 or 6 colourways.

Thanks but that to me would be casual.

Smart would be more structured? Smarter fabric?

Karen Millen is good for structured dresses. I'd love an occasion to wear this archive piece

Look at John Lewis where you can filter by maxi and special occasion. Eg this by Gina Bacconi

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think? https://www.johnlewis.com/gina-bacconi-fearne-lace-wrap-dress-fuchsia/p112742598?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

For a graduation ceremony?

Again - for a graduation ceremony?

I know it's a gazillion years since mine but really?

@IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle depending on the university, degree, dress code and age of op I think it might be ok... however my point was to look at KM if she is after a structured dress (and that I personally like the one I linked but have nowhere to wear it!)

It's a nice dress but it's an evening dress.

I am aware- I wouldn't over think it!

Thank you, not quite what I'm looking for...

Try mango sometimes they have lovely smart maxi dresses

Not too low a v neck I hope but I like this

Phase Eight? Melina Maxi Melina Maxi Melina Maxi

Less glam more pared back

Boden. Also available in plain black

Try Reiss?

Massive says to me slouchy and unstructured. I think people are struggling to understand the sort of thing you mean. Have you links to anything at all you like? Graduation dresses are usually just smart ordinary length dresses rather than structured maxi dresses.

Structured in maxi dresses is very hard to find (impossible maybe).

A better bet might be a jumpsuit? There are some really flattering, more structured ones around.

I don't think any of these dresses are suitable for a graduation. Some of them would look completely bonkers at a graduation ceremony. Edit- the Boden one is fine.
