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 bodycon dress a ruffle dress and we also 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, there are plenty of high-street brands to shop from that are 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
Black Bardot Corset Midi Dress
When it comes to House of CB, we immediately think of the signature corset dresses. Boohoo has managed to replicate the corset bodice, draped skirt and one-shoulder sleeve so. damn. well.
DUPE: Boohoo Satin Corset Bardot Drape Midi Dress, £14 OR MissPap Satin Bardot Draped Corset Wrap Midi Dress, £35, WAS £50
ORIGINAL: Janis Black Satin Corset Midi Dress, £179
White Sheer Sleeve Dress
This Princess Polly dress went viral on TikTok for being a dupe for the House of CB babydoll dress, for nearly half the price. They're almost identical, except for the fact the original features a keyhole neckline. For the price, we're definitely willing to overlook it.
DUPE: Princess Polly White Dyer Sheer Sleeve Mini Dress, £57
ORIGINAL: Ivory Chiffon Halter Mini Dress £149
Floral Tie Strap Midi Dress
Both with tie shoulder details, both with a floral print - what's not to love? Now on offer for a ridiculous price, this dress from New Look is selling fast, so be sure to get one in your size before it's gone.
DUPE: Pink Floral Tie Strap Midi Dress, £18 WAS £35.99 OR Cider Fruit Knotted Split Midi Dress, £22
ORIGINAL: Alicia Floral-Print Stretch Woven Midi Dress, £139
Purple Corset Dress
They're not identical, but if you're looking for a purple corset dress that looks luxurious, this ASOS Design is a stunning House of CB dupe. Made from silky material with a structured boned waist, it's in between the Charmaine dress in lavender and pink.
DUPE: ASOS DESIGN Corset Bust Detail Dress, £52
ORIGINAL: Charmaine Lavender Corset Maxi Dress £189
Lime Ruffle Dress
Have you heard? Ruffle dresses are all the rage lately. In the same colourway, ASOS has this exclusive ruffle dress for their curve collection. We're surprised this one isn't selling out fast, but we're sure it will soon.
DUPE: ASOS Curve Ruffle Cami Maxi Dress with Drape in Olive, £21.50, WAS £60
ORIGINAL: Pixie Ruffle Mesh Maxi Dress £189
Blue Floral Ditsy Dress
The Tallulah Dress comes in loads of variations, but it's safe to say you'll find a dupe for it over at Cider, along with all of the floral dresses at House of CB. The perfect dress for summer, it's giving cottage-core vibes with dreamy puff sleeves and a split hem.
DUPE: Cider Ditsy Floral Square Neck Midi Dress £26 OR & Other Stories Linen Puff Sleeve Dress, £52.50, WAS £95
ORIGINAL: Tallulah Blue White Floral Dress, £139
Green Ruched Mini Dress
These ruched mini dresses do have slightly different vibes, but we love them both the same. The Kirsty dress from Missy Empire is giving us fun night-out vibes paired with bright accessories. The Christy dress from House of CB is giving classy, elegant date night dress with gold barely there jewellery. However, both are similar in design.
DUPE: Kirsty Lime Long Sleeve Plunge Ruched Skirt Mini Dress, £15, was £35
ORIGINAL: Christy Olive Satin Shirt Dress, £159
Brown Sheer Floral Dress
The Nalini dress from House of CB was worn by the winner of Love Island season 10, Jess Harding, at the Love Island reunion. It's a gorgeous sheer dress with a painterly print that's giving us '00s vibes. We've found a brown floral mesh dress from PrettyLittleThing that's now on sale if you want the look at a more purse-friendly price.
DUPE: Brown Floral Print Mesh Ruched Bust Maxi Dress £23
ORIGINAL: Nalini Floral And Leopard Print Stretch Mesh Dress £159
Black Plunge Dress
The daring Larelle dress from House of CB was worn as part of the Love Island reunion by season 10 alumni Ella Barnes. Featuring a more than flattering neckline to show off your assets, we've managed to find a very, very similar plunge dress from Club L London.
DUPE: Milani Black Backless Cowl Neck Fishtail Maxi Dress £65
ORIGINAL: Larelle Black Plunge Maxi Dress, £179
White Corset Dress
Classy and sophisticated, the House of CB Tamara dress comes with a unique neckline. It also made an appearance in the season 10 Love Island reunion, as worn by Whitney Adebayo. However, we just can't fork out nearly £200 for a dress, so we've settled for this discounted pick from MissPap.
DUPE: Premium Satin Corset Lace Up Back Maxi Dress, £28, was £40
ORIGINAL: Tamara Peaked-Neckline Stretch Woven Maxi Dress £199
Red Cut Out Dress
Looking for a dress for your next event? You can save £80 on this cut-out detail dress from PrettyLittleThing over the original Valentina design. It comes with a bit of extra length, but a maxi dress is just so perfect for an occasion.
DUPE: Red One Shoulder Cut Out Cup Detail Maxi Dress, £23
ORIGINAL: Valentine Cut-Out Stretch-Mesh Midi Dress, £169
Brown Satin Dress
Both dresses have similar ruching and split hem detail, made from satin fabric. The original is so luxurious, but we're also loving this alternative from ASOS for a lot, lot less. Add it to our baskets immediately.
DUPE: ASOS Drape Satin Cami Midi Dress in Biscuit £58.50, WAS £90 OR PLT Mocha Satin Cowl Neck Maxi Dress, £48
ORIGINAL: Reva Corset Satin Midi Dress, £169

Looking for a gown for your next event? PrettyLittleThing has you covered with this emerald maxi dress with a corset bodice, a close dupe to the Milena forest maxi dress at House of CB.
DUPE: PrettyLittleThing Emerald Green Corset Dress, £48
ORIGINAL: Milena Forest Corset Maxi Dress, £179
Wrap Neck Satin Dress
Alright, they might not be the same colour but they're pretty close in design. The wrap neck detail on the House of CB Angelina Dress is oh-so-chic but oh-so-expensive. Luckily, there's a similar number at ASOS.
DUPE: ASOS One Shoulder Tie Stretch Satin Mini Dress in Chocolate, £18.50, WAS £45
ORIGINAL: Angelina Wrap-Neck Satin Midi Dress, £169
Brown Cutout One Shoulder Dress

ORIGINAL: Valentina Mocha Asymmetric Cutout Midi Dress, £169
