Please use the measurements I provide to get an accurate fit estimate. I don't include the size marked on the tag of the item in the listing description. (Some of my older listings still have the size listed, but I am transitioning out of that) This is because the vintage size (# or letter) will represent differently than modern sizing. Also, brand specific sizing can make it difficult to shop for clothing online without having a size chart for each item/brand.

Use a soft tape measure to gather your measurements and compare those with the measurements I provided of the garment to ensure the item will fit.

I always include a photo of the inside tag. If you know your "vintage" size you can use that to help gauge how the item will fit.

At this time, I am not accepting returns or exchanges based on fit. That being said, I know that buying clothing online, especially vintage clothing and denim which can vary so much in sizing and fit, can be challenging. This is why I take the extra time to measure all of my items to ensure that my customers have something to use in comparing the item with one that they already know fits them. I am also always excited to help out with sizing, give my best advice, more photos, or whatever is helpful! My customers' positive experience with my shop is very important to me, so please feel free to reach out to me with concerns about the way the item fits, always. I can offer advice on simple mends, ways to re-sell, etc.

Thank you!

Yes! I always try my best to note all flaws and aspects of my pieces. But of course, I recognize my ability to make mistakes! If the item I send you has more flaws than pictured, or is not what is pictured in the listing you purchased, please feel free to reach out to me and we will work together to figure out what went wrong and I will put together either a refund/return or an exchange. As well, if something were to occur via the shipping provider, if the package was lost or damaged, please let me know, and I will open a case with the postal service to figure it out! If I am not able to recover the item, you will get a full refund. As always, more communication is better than none or less, so just reach out to me!!

Thank you!

I measure all of my items laying flat, with a soft tape measure.

Waist - (X2) Side seam to side seam in the middle of the waistband.
Hip - (X2) Side to side (not necessarily seam to seam) 7" down from the top of where the waist measurement was taken.
Inseam - Along the seam that runs down the inside leg, from the crotch to the bottom hem.
Rise - From the crotch seam to the top of the waistband running straight up the zipper seam.
Leg Opening - Across the bottom hem/opening of one leg.
Thigh - Straight across one leg for pants/shorts starting from the crotch and ending at the side seam.

If you have any questions about how I measure my items please don't hesitate to reach out!

I measure all of my items laying flat, with a soft tape measure.

Waist - Across the midsection taper of a top or dress (on a shift/sheath dress this may be a guesstimated area)
Shoulder to Hem - From shoulder seam at the top of the blouse or dress, down to the bottom hem.
Sleeve Length - From the shoulder seam at the top of the blouse/dress down to the edge of the cuff/end of the sleeve on both short and long sleeved items.
Bust - Across the chest of the top/dress, essentially the "pit to pit" measurement, starting from the underarm seam on one side and ending at the other.
Arm Opening - Along the curved seam at the opening of the sleeve.
