There's something wonderful about finding an incredible vintage dress that fits perfectly. You don't need to worry about someone else wearing the same dress and can also feel that extra bit smug about the fact that you hunted it rather than just buying what everyone else is when the collections hit the store.

Lanvin dress, $174, vestiairecollective.com.
