Sizing Guide

Vintage clothing sizing is vastly different than modern day sizing. Please refer to the measurements given in each description to see if the sizing will work for you. We recommend grabbing an item that currently fits you and measure using the method(s) outlined below.. This will allow you to see if the garment you wish to purchase fits closely matches your size.

Measurements are taken while laying flat and you can refer to the guidelines below to see how we measure.
