CLOTHING SIZING

CLOTHING SIZING

Determining your “vintage size” is not an easy thing to do! Vintage measurements are significantly different from modern day sizing. We want you to be sure that you’ll love the way your garment fits!  So, if there is an original size tag, we will list it. We will also list the actual garment measurements where applicable. Our vintage clothing measurements are taken while the garment is lying  flat & relaxed. These measurements do not include the ease (extra room) you may need to provide a comfortable fit.  Your measurements should be smaller than ours to allow for ease of movement.  Compare your own measurements to ours, remembering to leave some extra wiggle room, especially for coats and jackets.

If you’re still not sure of a great fit, find a similar garment in your closet and measure it.  Compare these measurements to those of the vintage garment.  Please contact us at retrokandy@gmail.com. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
