Vintage garments are different to today’s modern clothing sizes and sometimes do not have labels. Plus with washing over a long period of time sizes will alter. The best way to calculate your correct size is to measure a garment you already own which is similar and you know fits you. Measure it in the same way that we measure our garments as seen below and compare.
Because vintage sizes are different from modern sizes it is important to refer to this sizing guide to ensure that your garment will fit.
To measure your garment lay it flat and measure as shown below and double this.
