Despite being a 21st-century success, House of CB looks to the silhouettes of decades past for inspiration behind its sultry designs. Take the Charmaine dress: laced with a romantic cowl neckline, its floor-skimming skirt is shaped into a figure-hugging bias cut to echo those worn by 30s Hollywood starlets. Spun from gleaming satin, it's held by dainty straps before falling to a Victorian-inspired, waist-cinching corseted bodice. | House of CB satin maxi dress100% polyester; lining 95% polyester, 5% elastane - Zip fastening at back - Slim fit sweetheart neckline, cowl overlay at neck, underwired cups, soft padding at cups. sleeveless, adjustable straps, corset bodice, split at back, fully lined - Dry clean only - True to size - Size small: 54in / 137cm - Model is 5ft 11in/1.80m and wears a size small - Lightweight, slight stretch
