Fit and Condition Guide

All measurements are taken flat with the garment laying flat.  The bust, waist, and hip measurements are doubled. We use a standard measuring tape and list everything using the US Customary System. if you would like us to convert to metric, we can do that for you.

We try to get the most accurate measurements but approximations are sometimes made due to the style of the garment. We try to use actual measurements vs. size approximation. Sizing ranges drastically from manufacturer to manufacturer, not to mention the sizing form different eras.

It is best to use a garment from your actual closet that fits well, base your measurements on that. That will give you the truest measurement. Make sure you allow for ease and fabric.
