Sizing: Please note that there is no standardized sizing in vintage. A vintage dress
with a size 14 label is a far cry from todays size 14. To ensure a properly fitting
garment, always go by the garments actual measurements. All measurements are
taken with the garment laid flat. Returns will not be allowed for fit issues.
This is how we measure:
Cleaning: Vintage is delicate (unless it's double knit polyester, that stuff is fire-proof!)
We do not recommend tossing your 40s rayon dress into your washing machine with
your jeans or bath towels. If you have a trusted dry cleaner, by all means use them! Do
be cautious with exceptionally fragile clothing, or things embellished with beads,
sequins, buttons, flocking, or hand painting. Dry cleaning uses rather harsh chemicals
and high heat.
For the most part, we recommend gently hand washing, and in some cases the
delicate cycle on your washing machine.
For more info on cleaning your vintage goods, check out Handwashing 101 on our
articles page.

will be shipped via Air Mail to save on shipping. Packages totaling more than $75 will
