RETURN POLICY: Please be aware that while I do accept returns, I accept them *only* when the item does not match my description. I do NOT accept returns for items that do not fit.
HOW SIZING WORKS: Sizing varies greatly era to era, manufacturer to manufacturer, and even garment to garment. I provide a modern day *estimate* of the size of vintage garments in my shop, but the best way to determine fit is to compare the measurements given in the description with those of a similar style garment that does fit.
