This dress found me at the Custard Factory’s vintage flea market held every Saturday in Birmingham, England ($30). Its fun details made it stand out. I adore the silvery bejewelled, empire waist.
It’s label-less and homemade — demanding a trained eye to size it up. In fact, all vintage dresses do. I normally wear a US size 8-10, but I own vintage dresses in sizes 4 to 14; obey labels at your peril. Wiggling into armfuls of musty dresses is key to finding just the right one.
