SIZING GUIDELINES

Vintage clothing sizes are significantly smaller than today's sizing. A vintage garment marked size 10 is NOT the same as a size 10 today. Generally, vintage garments are approximately 5 sizes smaller than today. Defining factors are also the designer, type of fabric, tailored vs. loose fitting, cut, style, european vs. north american, store brand to store brand -- to name a few.

European sizing, US & UK sizing are also all different. Please see guidelines below.

Our clothing is measured laying flat, and measurements are doubled, adding approximately 2 extra inches for the bust measurements only if the fabric allows.

CONDITION GUIDELINES

Vintage clothing is pre-worn. Occassionaly we come into possession of a mint vintage item - not previously worn, sometimes with the original store tags still attached.

We inspect all of our garments thoroughly. Any flaws and/or repairs are noted in descriptions and photographs taken where possible. We clean all of our garments using handwashing methods with biodegradable products. We also use the services of a local environmentally safe dry cleaner.

Our condition guideline is described as follows:
 
MINT - Like new, no flaws, perhaps never worn
EXCELLENT++ - Almost mint, but previously worn
EXCELLENT - No major flaws, previously worn.
VERY GOOD ++ - Previously worn, 1-3 flaws that will be quite small (less than 1 inch) and difficult to detect with naked eye.
VERY GOOD - Previously worn, either with several small flaws, or 1 large flaw.
GOOD - Previously worn with flaws visible to naked eye.
FAIR - Previously worn with several large flaws that are easily visible.
