Do stores not sell business casual dresses anymore? Want to get a couple for summer and have looked at all the usual mainstream workwear brands and have found very little selection. I feel like the options are matronly midi dresses that hit awkwardly mid calf, ones that are actually a little too professional for a more casual office, or ones that would be perfect if they were just a few inches longer. Any recs??

I'm with you on hating midi length dresses. I usually go with pants and top, paired with cardigan/open sweater or blazer.

I actually don’t even hate midi dresses, I have a few sundresses that are midi length that I love. It’s just something about the length of the business casual options that seem weird to me, like they hit right above the ankle in a really unflattering way. I suppose you could hem them but they’d still be kind of frumpy. I mostly wear pants now but the subway platforms are a million degrees in the summer and it’s nice to switch it up.

Banana republic or J.Crew

These were definitely included in the mainstream workwear brands I already checked ha

I would try Ralph Lauren - something like this is a good middle ground:
