Size Guide
Every piece featured in our collections is carefully sourced and one-of-a-kind.
As vintage sizing can vary and the original tags may not reflect modern sizing standards, we include the exact measurements of each garment in the product description to help you find the perfect fit.
HOW TO MEASURE
We recommend using a measuring tape and comparing the measurements with a similar piece from your own wardrobe. If a garment has stretch, adjustable straps, or a tie-back, we’ll always mention it in the description.
BUST - Place the tape at the fullest part of your bust and wrap it around your body.
UNDERBUST - Wrap the tape just below your bust, where a bra band would normally sit. This is especially useful for corsets & bustiers, please keep the tape snug but comfortable.
WAIST - Wrap the tape around the narrowest point of your waist, just above your belly button.
HIPS – Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
BACK – From shoulder edge to shoulder edge, across the back.
LENGTH – Measured from shoulder to hem for dresses and tops, or waist to hem for skirts.
A Note on Measurements
All measurements are in European sizes & are taken with the garment laid flat. For circumference (bust, waist, hips), please double the flat lay measurement.
e.g. Waist: 38 cm = 76 cm circumference.
CORSET & BUSTIER SIZING
Our corsets and bustiers are vintage finds from all over the world which means sizing may vary across styles. To help you find your perfect fit, we recommend checking both the band and cup measurements listed in each product description.
SISTER SIZES
Corset and bustier fits can be flexible — especially for adjustable or lace-up styles but sister sizing is a very helpful sizing tip as not all pieces are lace-up.
If you do not see your size in stock, try a nearby “sister size”:
Go down a band size, up a cup → e.g. 75B = 70C
Or go up a band size, down a cup → e.g. 75B = 80A
A Note on Care
Many of our pieces are made from delicate vintage fabrics, including silks, lace, and hand-beaded materials. These are garments meant to be treasured forever & handled with care. We recommend gentle handling, minimal washing, and careful storage.
