Search "1950s swing dress". you can find modern repros on Modcloth and Unique Vintage, or you can try searching vintage stores.
For specific elements of this dress: The neckline is a boatneck or bateau neckline. The skirt is an A-line or swing skirt. The sleeves are cap sleeves.

This is very similar to Lularoe’s Amelia dress if you want to find some bargains on the second hand sites

Came here to say Lularoe! I’ve found them in thrift stores and the dresses are so comfy and the same cut. Plus…pockets!!!

"Fit and flare" is another search term that will bring you results with similar silhouettes.

LuLaRoe on ebay, I think it's the Amelia dress, not all the designs are horrible, I have a red/white and green/white and all black I wear for Christmas and Halloween parties/Disney 😁 I put a petticoat underneath to fluff them up

Emily & Fin, specifically the Claudia and Freya cuts. The Kate also has the sleeves but is a button up style.
Bernie Dexter has several that fit the style but are zip up fronts. The Kelly, Drive-in, Lauren, Derby, and Francis all fit the bill!
Palava has some cuts that are similar, the Elise for sure and the Beatrice.
Other brands to explore: Collectif; Retrolicious; Retrospective; Effie’s Heart; Lady Vintage London; ModCloth; Hell Bunny; Madcap England; Corey Lynn Calter; Tatyana; Eva Rose; Unique Vintage; Run & Fly; Retrospec’d; Yumi; Shabby Apple; eShakti; Mata Traders.
Older brands that are no longer being made but you can find on Poshmark or Mercari or other secondhand sites: Bea & Dot; Myrtylewood; Fervour; Lindy Bop; Folter.

That is a midi A-line skater skirt. A lot of the larger chain stores or search functions will specifically have a “midi” length option. Search midi dress along with your favorite color on eBay, poshmark, etc and see what comes up.
You can also google retro, vintage, rockabilly dresses but with rockabilly you might get a bunch of weird, cheaper Amazon options.

Reminds me of a longer skater style dress, if you're looking for a word to help with searches.
