Searching for a black dress - long, cheap, not revealing

Does anyone know where to look for an ankle length black dress?

Requirements are size 6/8, ankle length, crew or other high neck, short or 3/4 sleeves, no cut outs or anything inappropriate for a young teen.

Ideally it would have a waist tie, be polyester or something else that doesn’t crumple, and less than £50.

George at Asda have lots of black maxi dresses, sleeveless through to full sleeve. Just one example here for £25. You can order them to collect at store for free and return there if not right.

I had a look at Next, but couldn’t see anything that meets the dress code (which is quite strict - no cut outs, no bare shoulders, no slits in dresses, must be ankle length). V neck doesn’t work, as they’re all too revealing.

I’ll have a look at Asda, but I’m not sure they do a 6, and a big 8 will be too big I think.

That second Next one looks possible, thanks! The others aren’t long enough, unfortunately. It needs to be ankle length, not midi, and she’s fairly tall.
