Measurement & Fit Guide

Measurements Matter Most!

Here's how to measure yourself to ensure the most perfect fit for your vintage garments.
Fit Notes: Vintage sizing may be different so please go by the measurements to ensure proper fit.
All measurements are taken while the garment is laid flat and relaxed so double for full measurements unless otherwise stated.
For best fit, compare the measurements to a garment you already own that fits you well.

Measuring your body:

BUST: Measure over the fullest part and straight across the back.
HIGH BUST: Across the top of the breast, directly under arms and around back.
BUST POINT: Measure from base of neck to bust point, then from bust point to center front waist. Record both measurements.
WAIST: Measure circumference-tie a string around body at thinnest part and use as reference point for taking other measurements.
HIGH HIP: Measure 2″ to 4″ (5cm-10cm) below waist over top of hip bones.
HIP: Measure at fullest part, usually 7″-9″ (18cm-23cm) below waist.
FRONT NECK TO WAIST: Measure from hollow between necklines to center waistline.
SHOULDER: Measure from base of neck to shoulder bone.
ARM LENGTH: Slightly bend arm, measure from shoulder bone to elbowed on to wrist bone. Record both measurements.
ARM: Measure circumference around fullest part of arm, usually 1″ (25mm) below armpit.
WRIST: Measure across wrist bone.
NECK: Measure fullest part of neck circumference.
BACK NECK TO WAIST: Measure from prominent neck bone down center back down to waist.
BACK WIDTH: Measure 4″-6″ (10cm-15cm) from prominent neck bone, mark then measure across from arm crease to arm crease.
