Condition

Excellent vintage, ready to wear condition. No flaws to note.

As vintage sizing usually varies from item to item, actual measurements can be the most accurate way to determine sizing & fit. We hand measure all our garments. Measurements are taken in inches, with the garment laying flat and then doubled where appropriate for correct sizing (i.e. for waist & bust).

For best fit, we recommend checking measurements of your best fitting garment or, if possible, your own body. Please get in touch if you have any enquiries regarding measurements or fit.
