Jen finds the best most fabulous vintage and will do all she can to help you with your choices.

Size Guide
Size Guide
We take pride in providing accurate measurements with an approximation of modern UK with an International equivalent size chart below sizing to help you when choosing your purchase and will fit properly as often vintage sizes differ significantly from modern sizes.
It is also very helpful if you are aware of your own particular dimensions. If you're not sure, you may easily approximate them by measuring an item of clothes from your own wardrobe that fits well and is laid flat.

Bust - Measured by doubling the width from armpit to armpit across the front of the garment.
Waist - Measured by doubling the width from one side of the waistband to the other.
