Sizing

Vintage sizes often differ from modern sizes; they usually run smaller. We measure all our clothing and list them in their modern sizes. For this reason, occasionally the size on the label may differ from the size in the description. 

We sell clothing in a range of sizes. Our model is a UK 10 and 5"7. The description will always note if an item has been pinned to her or if she wears it oversized. If an item will suit a range of sizes, we try our best to explain the difference in fit. 

When buying vintage clothing it is helpful to know your measurements - we suggest investing in a tape measure! You can check the measurements against an item you already own to get an idea of the fit.
