Dresses without a defined waist

I’m having a bit of a clothes problem. I’ve always worn separates because the waistlines on dresses are never in the right place for me. Now however I’m finding that all my skirts and trousers slip down onto my hip bones which is uncomfortable and makes them look baggy. Watching The GB sewing Bee I thought I might try the sort of dresses that Esme wears. Does anybody know where I might find them? I’m partially sighted so trawling the internet is difficult.

I have bought a few dresses over the years from Per Una, bought some recently from Vinted that are 100% cotton and a lovely floaty shape without being too tent like ! my two worn on repeat in the heat have been button down and tiered with pockets and made from the softest cotton. Needed to get a size down, but not a bad thing lol !!

Recently bought 2 summer waistless dresses from Shein and im very pleased with them.
They have lots to choose from and the best thing is they are so cheap , £10 each !
