INFO

ALL SALES ARE FINAL

Flat measurements are posted on every listing, we recommend comparing these numbers with a garment of your own to ensure a good fit.

Sizes listed on the tag will not be reliable as they are from an era of sizing past.

Each piece is vintage and has lived a whole life before arriving to you, we do many repairs in the showroom however imperfections are the joy of wearing vintage. Major flaws will be noted.
