Can anyone help me find a retro LBD like the one in this photo?

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

I love the straps/neckline in particular.

Have looked at Collectif/TopVintage etc but can't find anything similar.

Must be plain black
Pencil/wiggle style
Under £50
Size 10 or 12 depending on the shop.

Anyone fancy helping me out?

I don’t know but I love that dress! Would it work with small boobs do you think?

You need to search for dresses with a sweetheart neckline.

Thanks for the suggestion Cracker. Don't think the Marilyn is all that similar as it is off the shoulder with a fishtail skirt. I want one that has straps like the dress in the photo and a pencil skirt. Thanks though.

Have been searching for sweetheart neckline dresses but to no avail.

Thanks anyway.

Collector have lots of fitted pencil dresses and a black Friday sale

This ones similar www.collectif.co.uk/clothes-c1/andromeda-velvet-pencil-dress-p7135

Ooh I know! Have you checked Vivien Of Holloway? There's some very nice retro styles. Perhaps you are looking for something like the halter neck one?

This is similar but probably more than you want to pay:

Thanks all

@mscynical that is pretty damn near perfect 😍 but yes, over budget sadly 😢.

The navy Collectif was the closest I could find in shape terms but I really want black rather than navy and cotton/elastane rather than velvet.

The other one looks like one of those poor quality Chinese shops which I tend to avoid tbh, bizarre sizing and weeks for delivery. Also the back is so low it looks like it would make wearing a bra impossible.

Have been looking on eBay but they're all a bit....Julien McDonald o_O.

Have you looked through boohoo ? They have so many little black dresses !!

Try sirens and starlets

Etsy is your friend here.
There are hundreds of wonderful 80s and 90s black cocktail dresses on there.

@happymama99 I saw that one but something about it looks matronly to me. Think it's the high back. Would really prefer something strappy.

Thanks for looking

I actually ordered this one from Lindy Bop last week but returned it as it was just not very well made/fitting.

I was going to suggest Lindybop too - I love their dresses!

Thanks @RebelRogue but I'm getting a more.....Kardashian vibe than a retro one from that dress. Not for me.

I get what you mean. The really thin straps seem quite hard to find.

I reckon I've hit a wall in my search.

Remembered that I've got this Collectif dress though which isn't exactly like the one in the photo but is very flattering so think I'll wear it instead.

And will be buying the Deadly is the Female dress as soon as so can afford to.

Thanks again all.

Saw this today and remembered you! www.coast-stores.com/p/victoria-shift-dress/1859680

chop that's gorgeous 😍

Love the back detail.

Off to check my bank balance

Thank you

That coast dress is gorgeous and they are usually really well made and lovely material.
