I know from hearing from you that I am not the only one who loves what I call a vintage convergence—a vintage ad or a pattern (etc.) that is clearly the same as the vintage item you have in hand.
In this case, I have a homemade wrap housedress that reminds me of a Swirl dress from the 1950s or 60s. It is in fact from the 1970s, which I know because I found its pattern on the sweet Tomato Soup Cake blog, where the writer also talks about Swirl dresses.

What a cute wrap dress!
I love vintage convergences; it is so neat to find the advertisement or pattern that matches the garment. I have a lovely 1940s sarong dress and was delighted to find the pattern for it in a 1944 McCall magazine. The seamstress even choose a fabric similar to the magazine illustration, which made it even more fun to see!
That's so great!
Some time ago I found a suit and an alert reader found its matching pattern, 60s Pierre Cardin. This seamstress also tried to match the pattern envelope: http://denisebrain.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-most-recent-convergence.html
