We don't trust the tag – and neither should you

Let’s be honest: vintage sizing is a mess. A labeled size means nothing without context — and vintage sizing models definitely didn’t account for curves. That’s why we measure every piece by hand and give you the info you actually need to shop with confidence.

Size Guide

Because size shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Quick Tip: Know Your Numbers

Grab a soft tape measure and measure yourself (not over clothes) for the most accurate fit. If you don’t have one, a string and ruler combo works too–vintage problems call for vintage solutions.

How Our Sizing Works

We carry a wide range of sizes, typically from L to 4X, with many pieces falling between 1X–3X. Many items are one-of-a-kind, so the fit will vary, and we’re here to help you figure it out.

How We Measure

We measure garments flat in inches. Double where needed (like bust, waist, hips) for total circumference.

Here’s what we measure on most items:
Across the front, armpit to armpit
The narrowest part, laid flat
Widest part of the garment
From shoulder to hem
From crotch to bottom hem (for pants)
