Sizes and Measurements

Measurements listed for each item are of the item itself. This is not to be confused with your body's measurements or bra size. Please allow room for movement and comfort.

If you purchase a dress with a side zipper, please make sure to pull the zipper all the way down when trying it on.

Please do not buy two or more sizes of the same item to try and figure out which size fits best. Please contact us with any questions. We are glad to help you figure out which size is best. All items returned for cash refund instead of credit or exchange are subject to a restocking fee.

Sizes are different between manufacturers and time eras. For authentic vintage items, please note that vintage sizes tend to run smaller than today's sizes. Please go by listed measurements, not label size, for an accurate fit.

The measurements we provide are approximate and should be very close to actual size. There could possibly be a deviation of approximately ½ inch for any given measurement.

We recommend measuring a similar dress silhouette in your closet that fits you well using a tape measure. Flip it inside out, lay it flat on a table, measure across the under arm to under arm, double that number. Measure across the waist, double that number. Compare to the dress measurements in the listing to see how it will fit you. If you compare to your own measurements, leave room to breathe and move.

The measurements in the listing are of the dress itself. The length measurement is taken from the shoulder to the hem for all dresses except strapless dresses. The strapless dress length is from the top of the bodice to hem.
