We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
DRESSES | PANTS | |
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. | |
HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. | RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. | |
LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. | INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. | |
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.SaveSaveSave
This is a playful silk day dress by Yves Saint Laurent from the S/S 1984 collection. We have documented it from the YSL runway show. It is a silk cream dress with abstract black and red polka dot splatters. It has a nice mandarin collar with a snap, and five black trimmed red buttons down the front to the waist. It has knife pleating along front of the skirt and bodice, and hidden pockets at the hips.
This vintage YSL dress closes with a 15" zipper along the left side seam. YSL designed these pretty dresses with a simple waist as they were meant to be worn with a wide belt. We paired ours with this Vintage YSL Wide Soft Black Belt (sold separately)
Labeled Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Paris Made in France.
Very good condition - Overall excellent but a button on right sleeve cuff is broken in half and there is a very faint yellowing to the inside of the collar (not visible when worn).
This dress is marked size 36, but fits like a size medium/large.
BUST: 40"
WAIST: 30"
HIPS: 54"
SHOULDERS: 16"
SLEEVE: 23"
LENGTH: 42"
