Knotsknetter

I can't tell you how much I love the dress above. It sent me into a flurry of currency calculators and European to British size conversion tables, until I realised, regretfully, that it is too small for my daughter. That's the trouble with Dutch site Knotknetter, you see: every piece is a one-off, made from vintage material finds. If it doesn't fit, you can't simply select the next size up.

That's the bad news. The good news is, there are plenty more stunning designs, and several new additions every week. You can sign up for a very efficient weekly newsletter if you want to be the very first to know what's available - though it is all in Dutch.
