I need your amazing Google skills

So I finally found a dress I love, but it's from one of the sketchy overseas websites. I tried to find the dress through the original designer with no luck. Any chance you ladies have an idea where to find the real dress or at least something similar? Apparently looking for tea length dresses only takes you overseas.

@Doeydo please help master dress detective!

When I did a google image search, it mentioned copyright infringement and the complaint came from Justin Alexander, so that must be who originally made the dress?

Haven't found the specific one yet but here's their site: http://www.justinalexander.com/

The complaint was made Feb 2015 so hopefully that means it's a current style that they still carry.

ETA: closest I can find is 8555, which appears to have several variations in sleeves and length:

Not the same but this one's pretty IMO

I think this is a situation for Doeydo.  I never have any luck with reverse image search.  Honestly, I bought my dress from Justin Alexander, and I was a very naughty bride and continued to look at the site after I purchased the dress.  It's not something I recognize from my year + of stalking their catalogue.

Edit:  Justin Alexander is affiliated with a few other brands.  If they're the main brand the complaint could be related to a subsidiary.

Hi ladies, I'm flattered that you thought of me to help.  I'd love to try to find the dress, but if it's ok, I'll give it a whirl this evening or tomorrow.

@FiancB I love the first one you posted. I think you just made my morning!

Sorry, I was unable to find the dress, but I sent an e-mail to Justin Alexander so maybe they can help somehow if they get back to me.  Below are some semi-similar ones (you could always add straps or something if you wanted):
