Sizing
Vintage clothing often has different sizing standards compared to modern garments. Since vintage items may have been produced decades ago, it's essential to refer to the measurements provided in each product listing. We take measurements of each item and provide detailed information regarding the chest, waist, sleeves, length, and other relevant dimensions. To determine your size, we recommend the following steps:
1. Take Your Measurements: Use a measuring tape to measure your chest (please note that we measure tops from pit-to-pit), waist, and hips. Be sure to measure over your undergarments for the most accurate results.
2. Compare with Product Measurements: On each product page, you'll find specific measurements for the garment. We measure each item laying flat. Chest is measured pit-to-pit and should be double for the full measurement. Compare these measurements with your own to determine the best fit. Keep in mind that vintage clothing tends to have a different fit and may require adjustments or alterations.
3. Contact Us: If you have any questions about sizing or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Care
