1. Measuring Procedures
We measure as accurately as possible. The vintage old tag sizes are not the same as modern sizing. When measuring for fit, please follow the size charts below to ensure the measurements will work for you.
We usually take measurements while the item is laying flat and unstretched.
Coats and Blouse:
1. Arm length is measured from shoulder seam to wrist hem.
2. Bust/chest measured from underarm, across the chest to the other underarm, then measurement is doubled.
3. Length is measured from shoulder to hem, or straight down the back not including collar.
4. Waist is measured across where a normal waist would fall and then doubled.
5. Back is measured from shoulder seam across to other shoulder seam(see diagram below).
Dresses and Skirts:
1. Dress length is measured from shoulder to hem.
2. Waist is measured across where an average waist falls, then doubled.
3. Skirt length is measured from waistband to hem.
4. Hips are measured across where an average hip falls, then doubled.
Pants:
1. Inseam is measured from crotch down along inside of leg to hem.
2. Waist is measured across natural waist then doubled.
3. Sometimes we measure from the waist, down to the crotch if needed.
Shoes:
Shoes are measured lengthwise across the top of the shoe from the heel to the toe, and the width is measured across the sole at the ball of the foot. Scroll down for size & condition charts.
