Looking for a long sleeve black dress

Thanks you guys for any help you can offer, im really struggling here!

So longer explanation below but:

I need a dress for wearing on stage. The only hard requirements are long sleeves and solid black, but I'd prefer:

Tea length -- maxi-length skirt Fitted bodice and full skirt Natural fibers (Possibly some interesting features like textures or pleating or something to give it a little umph?)

I've been searching around but it's difficult to find many long sleeve dresses, and it feels like so much of the sustainable dresses are just very boxy, which on my body translates to frumpy and unflattering.

So I need to wear black long sleeves for a few special occasion performances for my church choir, and I usually complain about it to the family because 1. The only clothing I currently own that fit are a black skirt and sweater, but wearing the sweater on stage gets so hot, 2. I don't like wearing monochromatic outfits, and I definitely don't like wearing no colors and 3. I don't like people telling me what to wear lol. But I suck it up for the occasional performance, it's not that big of a deal.

But now my sweet MIL tried to get me a dress for Christmas that she thought I would actually enjoy wearing, but it didn't fit, so she told me to go find one and she would get it for me. Usually when I go clothing shopping I go to the thrifts, so I have been looking around trying to find some kind of sustainable clothing brand that had a dress I'd like and I'm struggling.

So I'd love to hear if you all have any dress suggestions, thank you so much!
