I’m a frequent browser and regular shopper at Small Earth Vintage, an Etsy boutique that offers a fine selection of good-quality vintage clothing and accessories. (Full disclosure: I’d enjoy shopping at Small Earth even if the proprietors weren’t old friends of mine.)

Right now I’m particularly smitten with this 1950s wrap dress. I love any pattern that sets a romantic floral motif (especially roses!) against a more graphic, black-and-white background, and this design is especially lovely.

The measurements show that this garment probably won’t quite fit me, which is disappointing, but I’m sure it will find a good home in some other vintage-lover’s closet.
