Me & Em … but cheaper?

I’m looking for a new summer dress after losing a bit of weight. I like fitted tops with a bit more material in the skirt (so not shift style), must have sleeves.

the one dress I have that fits is kind of aqua/blue, so I’d prefer something red, orange, coral. Not pastels, they don’t suit me, and not navy/black. And knee length or just above , not midi or maxi as I’m short. Not tiered or smock style either, I’m curvy so things with no waist make me look square

2 I have identified are this lovely Me& Em dress which is perfect in almost every way but for the price tag (£150 for cheesecloth) and the Fat Face one which I have seen IRL and is nice but I have 3 versions of this with long sleeves for winter so it feels the same

I realise this is probably the worlds fussiest shopping list, but also that I have blinkers on in terms of brands to look at, so if anyone has any suggestions? TIA

Scamp and dude have some just above knee summer dresses. Bit cheaper than me&Em but still a bit ££ Nice quality though.
Hush- usually have some. Might be early for Summer 26 though.
Also, have a look on Next as they sell 100’s of brands now.
