Fit & condition
Vintage should come with character—not confusion.
Here is how we help you make a confident decision before ordering.
Understanding fit
The tag is only a clue.
Vintage sizing is not consistent with modern sizing—or even with other garments from the same era. The measurements in each Etsy listing are more useful than the size printed on the label.
Measured across the natural waist and doubled.
Measured across the fullest area and doubled.
Measured from the appropriate shoulder or waist point to the hem.
Understanding condition
Honest descriptions protect the buyer—and the garment.
Excellent vintage condition
Exceptionally well preserved for its age, with no significant issues noted.
Very good vintage condition
Minor age-appropriate wear that does not take away from the garment.
Good vintage condition
Visible wear, repair or imperfection that is clearly disclosed and photographed.
