Measuring & Fit Guide

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.

Rare Vintage Carolyn Schnurer Fish Swimsuit

This 1950s vintage swimsuit from Carolyn Schnurer is one of my all time favorites!! . Carolyn Schnurer was a designer who, like Tina Leser, Claire McCardell, Clare Potter, Bonnie Cashin, Mollie Parnis and Pauline Trigere, designed clothing for the needs of modern American women. Her swimsuits are very hard to find now and this one was most likelly never worn, which makes it even that more desireable! It is absolutely adorable with red zig zag trim and red cord belt. The pattern is schools of fishes!

If you love vintage bathing suits, you will have to consider adding this one to your collection! Lined in cotton with back metal zipper and hooks & eyes. This rare bathing suit is a collector's dream!
