OUR GUIDE TO VINTAGE

VINTAGE SIZING 

Vintage sizing isn't always true to modern day labels. We measure each item ourselves and label it so as it fits modern sizing.  That's why sometimes our listed size may differ from the size shown on tag.

If you're not sure about sizing and have questions please contact us before you order so that we can help you. 

HOW WE MEASURE

All items are measured laid flat.

BUST: From one underarm to the other to the fullest part of your chest and doubled

WAIST: From the narrowest part of the waist and doubled. If the waist is elasticated we note it.

HIPS: 20cm below the waistline and doubled. 

SLEEVE LENGTH: From the neck baseline to cuff.

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER: From one shoulder to the other.

TROUSERS LENGTH: At the inside seam, from crotch to the hem.

JUMPSUITS BODY LENGTH: From the top of the shoulder to crotch.

DRESS TOTAL LENGTH: From the top of the shoulder to the hem.

SKIRT LENGTH: From the waistline to the hem.

CONDITION GUIDE

All items are handpicked one by one and washed. Since they're at least 20 y.o some items may have minor flaws or signs of wear.

We inspect each item thoroughly and mark them with the indicated condition. All visible flaws are listed in the description.
