Specific kind of dress for an autumn wedding

Is there such a thing as a dress with a collar suitable for an autumn wedding? I have always struggled with dresses but have never been confident enough to not go down the dress route (yet). I prefer fairly androgynous, slightly masculine and structured clothes and trying to find a dress that fits the bill for a wedding and doesn't just look like I've taken a wrong turn from an office lunch is really difficult. I also prefer dark colours but don't want to look like the grim reaper. I've had lovely pencil dress - collarless but still structured - on Vinted for ages but it doesn't suit autumn, a wedding or an autumn wedding. Same with any shirt dresses I've found, they just don't hit quite right. A tailored dress would always be knee-length for me but otherwise it would need to be midi. Anyone else the same and found anything suitable?

Thank you. No budget yet, I'm just kind of looking for ideas. Size 14 and I'm definitely not brave enough to step away from a dress for a wedding. The jumpsuit is lovely but not me.

I quite like the last dress! A bit too full in the skirt but a great starting point

Don't have pictures but friend got married in a sort of edwardian riding dress, so fitted, with a collar and a slim tiered skirt, looked amazing!
