Thank you for shopping with Kris's Vintage Clothing, this store consists of vintage, antique, repurposed, recycled items.

When buying vintage please remember that these items are NOT NEW. Some items may have become slightly worn or faded over the years. I do my best to take pictures and let my customers know in the description of the item of any flaws.

~~~~~~ About Vintage Sizes ~~~~~ Fashion sizes have changed a great deal over the years. Although a vintage item may be marked as large, that does not necessarily mean it will fit a MODERN LARGE. To ensure you are getting a garment that will fit you, it is best to use the numeric measurements list.

All measurements listed for the vintage item are the actual fabric measurements of the garment . All measurements are taken in inches. In order to assure proper fit garments measurements must be slightly larger than your actual body measurements. If you do not know you body measurements, the easiest way to determine if a garment will fit you is to find a similar garment you may already have. Lay the garment on a flat surface. Make sure all buttons, zippers, etc. are fastened. Get your tape measures.


Bust/Chest Measurement
Measure from underarm to underarm. Double that measurement to determine the bust/chest measurement for them garment. For example, if a garment measure 18 inches, double that number for a bust/chest measurement of 36 inches.
Waist Measurement
Measure across the natural waistline of the garment (approximately 5 inches below the bust line) again, double this measurement.
