Although a 21st century success, House of CB looks to the silhouettes of decades past for inspiration behind its sultry designs. Take the Charmaine dress, for instance: Laced with a romantic cowl neckline, its floor skimming skirt is shaped into a figure hugging bias cut, echoing those worn by Hollywood starlets of the 1930s. Spun from the label's signature gleaming satin, it's held by dainty straps before falling to a Victorian inspired waist cinching corseted bodice. - House of CB satin midi dress100% polyester; lining 97% polyester, 3% elastane - Exposed zip fastening at back - Sweetheart neck, draped trim at neck, adjustable shoulder straps, soft moulded cups with underwiring, structured boning at bodice, regular fit, all over satin texture, ribbed at bodice,Dry clean - True to size - Size UK 8: length 54in / 138cm - Model is 5ft 10in/1.78m and wears a size UK 8Midweight, non stretch - Suitable for fuller busts
