Known for their gorgeous dresses that literally look like artwork, House of CB is one of our favourite brands for bringing glamour... and drama. As worn by celebrities such as Love Island's Gemma Owen, Ekin-Su, as well as the queen herself Maya Jama, the brand is at the forefront of enviable fashion.
Considering we love a corset moment, it makes sense that we're absolutely obsessed with House of CB designs. But, as we know, these dresses come with a less-than-enviable price tag. However, plenty of high-street brands to shop from offer affordable alternatives.
We have to say, we love a good dupe, which is why we've put together some of our favourite House of CB dupes from brands like PrettyLittleThing, Boohoo and more. So, here are some of our favourite dresses so that you can get the designer look without the steep price tag.
SHOP: The best House of CB dupes

DUPE: Whimsical Blooms Sleeveless Floral Maxi Dress, £49 on Windsor
House Of CB / Club L Londonclubllondon.com
