*Please keep in mind that all of our items are
true vintage and antique pieces
, and are
not reproductions
.  True vintage is special because of the artistry, craftsmanship and high quality fabrics.  Unless otherwise noted, our items are sold in the condition we find them.  Collectors understand that these items may require an investment in time to preserve and protect the condition in a way that best suits their preferences so we do not alter, clean, or mend our garments (unless otherwise noted).
We use the following size chart as a general rule for determining size by today's standards.  Please keep in mind that vintage and antique fabrics have no stretch or "give" like modern clothing and you may need to adjust your sizing to account for that.
VINTAGE CLOTHING CONDITION GUIDE
Mint:
As perfect and pristine as it was originally.  The garment may have never been worn and tags may still be attached.
Near Mint:
Shows only the slightest bit of wear on an otherwise perfect garment.  This means it may have only been worn once or twice.
Excellent:
The garment is totally sound in structure and appearance.  Any wear is the result of having been worn occasionally, and it is clear that the garment has been well cared for and stored.
Very Good:
The garment is wearable with some minor flaws. The flaws could be stains, loose seams, a missing button, or a fallen hem, for example.  It is often possible to take a garment found in this condition and mend, alter, or specially treat stains to turn it into a garment in excellent condition.  Overall the garment is good, and any flaw still standing does not prevent you from wearing and enjoying it.
Good:
The garment is wearable, but the dress is no longer in pristine condition.  In this case, you normally could not achieve excellent condition even if repairs are made.   That said, often if you love a piece, you will just accept the flaws.  These are often vintage clothes that were simply well loved and thus well-worn in their day.  Other times it may be a case where the garment just wasn?t stored very well.
Poor:
Multiple holes, tears, stains, etc.  The garment is unwearable but good for pattern making, inspiration and study.
