ITEM SIZING I have tried my best to give as accurate a description of the pieces as possible, including condition and size. You will notice that I give the actual measurements instead of any manufacturer's size available.....I find that vintage clothes typically run smaller as many were made before there was any type of size regulation. Be sure to measure as well as leave ample room for movement. I have included a sizing chart below for your convenience. Click here for sizing charts. Keep in mind that these are estimates, so please be sure to measure.

ITEM CONDITION I try to be as detailed as possible concerning the condition, noting any flaws or imperfections. Keep in mind that these are vintage clothes and imperfections are the norm rather than the exception and often add to the character of the item. Unless otherwise noted, all items are in wearable condition. Here is my rating scale:
MINT:No flaws; perfect condition; may be unused, or slightly used with no visible signs of use. Often deadstock.
NEAR MINT: Almost mint, but slightly used.
EXCELLENT: Very minor wear. No breakage or cracks.
VERY GOOD:Wear is detectable, but does not take away from the overall integrity of the item. May have several minor flaws.
GOOD: Significant wear and tear; flaws are detectable.
FAIR: Major flaws can be found throughout the piece.

CARE OF VINTAGE ITEMS I recommend hand washing with a gentle, all-natural soap. I personally prefer using vegetable castile soap and Ivory flakes; especially so for vintage clothes that date from the 1930's and older. Present day cleaning agents used by dry cleaners may contain chemicals that could damage your clothing. If you do use a dry cleaner, make sure they are skilled in cleaning vintage clothing. All items will arrive clean and pressed, done by yours truly. As these items are vintage, please treat them with the utmost care as I am not responsible for them once you buy them.
