SIZING & MEASUREMENTS - small
Most of the vintage clothes have no size markings and have been custom made to fit an individual. The measurements do not correspond to today's modern sizes. I can give a rough indication of whether a garment is small (6,8,10), medium (10,12,14) or large (16 , 18, 20 plus+). We all know that human bodies vary so the best way of ensuring a good fit is to study the measurements carefully and compare them to our own clothes at home using a flexible tape measure.
I measure by lying the garment out flat and measuring seam to seam. I will measure the narrowest point, cuffs, waist, the widest point, bust, hips and am as accurate as possible. There may be minor variations of 1/2" due to the way different people will flatten out a garment to measure it.
neck seam to hem 59" bust 30" waist 26" hips 50++ " hem sweep 121" arm upper seam 21" arm lower seam 17" cuff at narrowest point 7" shoulders seam to seam 14-15"
CONDITION excellent vintage condition
Please note that colours may vary from monitor to monitor.
STOCK REFERENCE 1295
POSTAGE & PACKAGING All Items are wrapped carefully in protective acid free tissue paper and protective layers as necessary before being sent in mail sacks. It's almost impossible to avoid all travel creases so it is likely that they will need hanging or pressing to remove creases. I post the next working day after cleared payment by Royal Mail second class signed for. If the package weighs over 2 kg I use Parcelforce or occasionally other carriers.
PAYMENT Direct bank transfer or Paypal within two days of sale.
