Vintage belts tie it all together
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 deep purple lambskin suede top and pants outfit was designed by Claude Montana for Ideal Cuir in the late 1970's. The top is purple suede with purple leather large triangles on the shoulders. It has short sleeves and a slightly gathered boat neck that drops from the shoulders. It has little slits on the sleeves and sides.
The pants are high waisted capri length, with purple leather around the calves that matches the patches on the shoulders. They are also purple suede, with a zipper and snap closure in front.
This outfit is in good condition, it just has some slight fading to the suede along the sides that I have tried to show in the photos, you can see it on the close up of the pant leg.
Marked as a French size 38, but would fit a modern day size 6. The top is meant to be boxy and would fit a range of sizes. Claude Montana was doing the larger shoulders before the 1980's and this early design is a good example of his progressive design talent.
