Ruched skirt with an asymmetric hem that falls above the knee

(On my 5-foot-6 frame, the Mini Wells Dress hit just above the knee, but for our 6-foot tester it was borderline too short.) The midi-length version falls around mid-calf, as does the one with short sleeves, which also offers some upper-arm coverage

I think this T-shirt dress satisfies both accounts

Furthermore, many modern designs that feature structured corset styles on the front provide a solid framework that anchors securely at the natural waist

(Just don't throw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, they aren't that endless)
