Help me find this dress!

Someone I don't know very well was wearing this to a gathering recently, and I didn't get round to asking her where she got it! Would love the hive-mind to help me try and identify it/something similar.

It was a black (though I don't feel strongly about the colour) pinafore dress that she was wearing over a close-fitting long sleeve top. It was fitted round the waist with a wide-ish waistband, and had a full (I think pleated) skirt to midi length.

The front was sort of apron style, but with some darts so it fitted quite flatteringly. The neckline was straight across, and then there were thick straps that crossed over in the back and then buttoned to the waistband. So it was almost like a skirt with an apron front than a dress that you could wear by itself.

I have had google and not had much luck, so I would really appreciate any ideas!! Thanks🙂

I think it was a sort of heavy weight cotton, but corduroy would also be lovely!

The Amazon one is nearly it but it looks a bit flimsy and also is an actual apron! So you would need trousers underneath it or risk exposing knickers!! I am pretty sure the skirt on this one was joined all the way round without a split.

This one from Shein is pretty close, but I don't like the elasticated waistband (and I wouldn't want to buy from Shein...)

Hmmm that is nearly there but the skirt is a bit slim over the hips! Thanks though :)

Toast?

Yeah Toast and the pattern above are similar-ish but neither have the neat waistband and full skirt I am looking for!
