Vintage Sizing:
Sizes have changed so many times in the last 60 years we
have ''resized'' everything to simply a modern size small, medium or large, to make shopping easier a S/M is between a small
and a medium. Some items that have the same ''Size'' will
have slightly different measurements due to how they are supposed to fit, when they were made and who they were altered
for.
The list below is the guide we use in sizing but WILL NOT be completely accurate
for vintage items. Always ask for measurements before ordering, especially if you aren't planing on having item altered after
it arrives.
Some New and Vintage 1950's Dresses will have
smaller waists as they are meant to be worn with proper 50's undergarments. Please consider this before purchase, you may
want to get a size larger for a less fitted look.
Vintage items from mid 1960's and earlier
will not fit the same way as modern clothing, waists are much smaller and very fitted, be sure to get each items measurements
before ordering.
Always get actual measurements
of each item before purchase to be sure of fit. These measurements do not apply to vintage clothing.
