Tartine & Chocolat

Tartine et Chocolat is a Paris house, the kind grandparents recognize on sight. On our shelf now: the Retro Houndstooth Dress, size 3Y, $39.

The dress earns its price. Houndstooth in a retro cut, the sort of thing that still looks right in family photos twenty years on. It ships from Brooklyn, and if 3Y is not your size, more European dresses live in girls dresses.

French labels size by age and height, which does not always line up with US habits. Our European to US sizing guide translates.
