Thanks, Lisa. I've never really looked at MMLafleur before, and they have some really beautiful things.
The problem with a more fitted waist, however, is that it really will not work on my body. I don't have a waist, I have a shorter torso, and I have a high square hip line -- no nice slope from a small waist to a hip. So anything with a defined waist is usually too tight at the waist and bunches up because of my high hip bones, and makes me look pudgy and uncomfortable, which I am. Fitted dresses tend to be a disaster.
It's interesting, though, because of all the dresses I posted, I am drawn to the most structured of them: the Cynthia Steffe with the white collar, and the Anne Taylor with the notched collar. So perhaps you and I agree that I need to avoid too shapeless of a shift. Here are two from MMLafleur that I liked that could possibly work, although the first might be too shapeless and the second might be too corporate.
