Frequently asked questions

Sizing details

I measure all of my items in inches. I measure them by laying them flat and doubling the measurement. I recommend that you use a tape measure to measure your body but if you don’t have a tape the best way is to find a similar item to what you are buying in your wardrobe, measure it and then compare with the item you are looking to purchase.
These are the easiest ways to make sure an item will fit properly.
If you have any sizing questions please ask me as I like it when a customer gets their vintage item and it fits beautifully on them.

Care instructions

Decades old clothing require special care and attention. Many older pieces are made in fabrics that are no longer manufactured or have been replaced with easy care synthetic alternatives. I recommend that you always HAND WASH your vintage clothes. If you have silks, rayon or wool items please do not use harsh detergents and don't ring them. Spot cleaning is a good alternative and always blot rather than rub. Never wash a wool coat! If in doubt head off to your dry cleaner. This will ensure that your clothes will last many more years.

Vintage Clothes

These clothes have stood the test of time but sometimes have small marks, need a stitch or two and sometimes are a little frayed around the edges. I try to make sure that items with faults are noted in the description but sometimes I may miss something. I always look at these flaws as a life well lived. Still loveable after all of these years.

Vintage sizing differ to modern sizing

Old sizes are very different to what we have now. A vintage size 22 could fit a modern size 16 - 18 or a vintage size 12 could fit a modern size 8-10. ALWAYS MEASURE. Most vintage sellers will list what size is on the label but keep in mind it will be different to todays sizing. Always go by the measurements.

When in doubt measure.....

The best tool.

A tape measure, its marvellous and a magical tool. I recommend buying one for yourself and keeping it on you at all times!

Refunds

I will refund the price paid for your item if you find the item is not as described in my shop. Please double check measurements ALWAYS before purchase as there is nothing more disappointing than a vintage item that does not fit. Cost of shipping both ways is born by the customer.
