Measuring Tips
We try to measure as accurately as possible. The old sizes and even today's sizes are unreliable sources when it comes to Vintage Apparel! There is a size comparison chart on each product page for your convenience.
When measuring for fit, please follow these basic instructions to ensure your measurements will serve as a size comparison. We measure items in their unstretched state (if it stretches) unless the description says otherwise. We measure the ITEM EXACTLY - it is not a suggestion about what measurements it will fit YOU. This is the way we measure:
Blouses, Tops, and Shirts:
- Arm length is measured from shoulder to wrist hem.
- Bust/chest measured from armpit, across the chest to the other armpit, then the measurement is doubled.
- Length is measured from shoulder to hem.
- The waist is measured across where a normal waist would fall and then doubled.
Skirts and Dresses:
- The waist is measured across where a normal waist would fall and then doubled.
- Skirt length is measured from waistband to hem.
- Dress length is measured from shoulder to hem.
- Hips are measured across where a normal hip would fall then doubled.
Pants:
- Inseam is measured from crotch along inside of leg to hem.
- Waist is measured across the natural waist then doubled.
- Sometimes we measure from the waist, as in pajamas where the crotch is long. We mention that if it is done that way.
