Ahh, sleeved maxi dresses (with pockets) are my summertime dressing specialty - so easy to just pop on & go, without worrying about coordinating bottoms & accessories in this sticky, swampy heat. Ask & you shall receive!
Photos #1-#3: Every summer, Zara seems to come out with some iteration of this style of long shirt dress with a belted waist. I own more than one from different years, & have found that the viscose material is surprisingly breathable (this comes from someone who prefers to shop for natural fibres, like cotton & silk, & lives in a highly humid, subtropical climate). They launder really well (no colour bleeding), need minimal ironing (or none at all if you hang them up right after machine washing), are the right height for my 5ft3.5 frame, and the variety of prints are great for hiding a multitude of sins in the summer. If they can work in my hot HK summers, hopefully they will work for you too:

Photos #4-#6: Now I don't own this dress myself, but I'm sorely tempted to bite the bullet on international shipping fees for it. Seems to be a lightweight & breezy cotton, but also belted & tiered to add some structure. Comes in yellow, white & pink. Are you tempted too, yet? :p

PS - I like dress #1 & #4 on you the most, but you can probably tell that I'm biased towards sleeves anyway
