Measurement Guide

We take measurements with the garment laying flat, and double them.

We also give a modern day size as a guide.

1. Bust: we try to give an approximate measurement of the bust if design requires the extra information, i.e. dart shaping or non stretch fabric

2. Underarm

3. Waist: measuring at the smallest part

4. Hips: measures 20cm below the waist

5. Length: from shoulder to hem unless stated otherwise in description

Any additional measurements may be stated in the listing if necessary.

We have two different mannequins which showcase our vintage:

Our standard size mannequin fits like a UK 8-10 and she will typically wear any S/M/L/XL pieces. Any larger pieces may be clipped to fit better if necessary, and will always be mentioned in the copy.

She measures: Bust 34” - Waist 26.5” - Hips 36”

We also have a petite mannequin for the XS sizes. She wears the UK 4-6 pieces, or the smaller size 8’s.

She measures: Bust 32” - Waist 23” - Hips 31”
