Maxi dresses that are floor or at least ankle length

I would like a summer maxi dress. I'm 172cm tall and all the maxi dresses around seen to be short like midi length. This makes me look very odd and disproportionate.

Are there any dresses around that are actually long for me to wear on holiday? I'm not too fussed about colour or sleeves style just want it to be proper long.

In my experience as someone who is 164cm, all maxi dresses in h&m, primark and zara will be fine for you.

That's a nice colour dress linked but is exactly what it's too short I would like the dress to hang to my shoes/ankle bone and it hits mid shin on the model. She is taller from description so I may measure how long in cm I want dresses to be.

One tried h&m, Primark and Zara and definitely all too short. I think this length is in fashion now but it doesn't suit me. I used to be able to buy longer dresses no problem
