Please help me find this dress!

UK ladies, help me find a dress!

Okay, I know this is a super long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone in the UK might be able to help me find a dress that I saw a girl wearing that I LOVED.

The dress was black, with a white embroidery/tribal print and kimono elbow-length sleeves. It did not have a tie-back. It was not a flowy material, but seemed to be a heavier fabric. Though it could be a number of brands, it looked like it could be from Monsoon. It is a recent dress (last year or two) but I don't know if it's from this season or not. I have literally spent two hours looking through websites (Asos, Net-a-porter, Shopstyle etc) to try to find it with no luck and now I must appeal to you in the hope someone is familiar with this dress. I found a VERY similar dress that was sold by Oasis, though this is definitely not the same dress. But it is very similar with the waist band and v-neck (in both the back and front) with the trim. However, as I said, the dress I saw was black with white print and not white with black, like the Oasis dress.

Please can someone help me? I loved this dress and would be estatic if I could find it. Thanks!

Post an Alchemy request on Etsy and ask someone to make you one?

Be sure to give your measurements, as the sizes are very different.

This is a long shot but you could try Primark - the last time I went there I saw quite a few tops and dresses like this (thick waist-band, V-neck, swirly print).
