NOTE: Vintage sizes can vary greatly compared to modern sizing. We do our best to provide accurate measurements and fit descriptions based on today's standards, but please be aware that the garment tag size may not be representative of the actual fit.

How to Measure (Flat Lay Method)

Bust
Lay the garment flat and measure straight across the fullest part of the chest, just below the armholes.
👉 Double this measurement to find the full circumference.

Waist
Measure straight across the narrowest part of the garment’s waistline.
👉 Double for the full waist circumference.

Hips
Measure straight across the widest part of the hips area.
👉 Double for the full hip circumference.

Shoulder
Measure from one outer edge of the shoulder seam to the other, straight across the back.

Length
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem of the garment

Why Flat Lay Measurements Matter

Flat lay measurements let you compare the garment’s exact dimensions to your own clothing at home or your body measurements. This helps determine the best fit—especially important since vintage sizing can differ from modern standards.

✨ Tip: Always remember that flat lay numbers show only half the garment’s circumference. For example, a flat bust measurement of 42 cm means the full bust measurement is 84 cm.
