Help me find this dress from about 20 years ago!

It's the dress Gwen Stefani wore in the video for Don't Speak. I wanted it then and never managed to find one similar.

Yesterday I saw the video and still loved the dress. I've been googling madly since and still can't find one like it. Gwen Stefani said she bought it from a thrift store around 1990 and it was made of a rayon material so draped beautifully.

Can anybody help? I have never coveted an item of clothing so long in my life!

There are vintage fabric sellers and plenty of good dressmakers who could make this for you .

Just had a look at the Joanie website and I want about 10 dresses!

@MessyBob89 I just had to resurrect this thread (again!) to say thanks for directing me to the Joanie website - I ordered the dress you linked but it wasn't quite right, but then I tried another on their site - the Jade dress - and I love it! I think it's the closest I'm going to get to the original - the buttons are different but I might get some white ones to sew on. This is it anyway - if anybody is still looking for the Don't Speak dress, I've been looking for a long time and this is the closest I've found Smile.
