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.

Description

This is a gorgeous vintage Christian Lacroix black velvet skirt suit from the Fall/Winter 1994 runway show.

This two piece skirt suit is a patterned, textured velvet with contrast red velvet lapels with unique floral applique, green velvet ribbon and gold metallic mesh.

The skirt closes with a back zipper and the double breasted jacket has front square buttons with rhinestones.

We have shown images of Christy Turlington wearing the same style suit on the runway for Christian Lacroix's Fall/Winter 1994 collection.
