MEASUREMENTS
Please note that the size is not always the best guide for determining whether a garment or shoes fit. The
size stated can be very misleading, due to the fact that vintage sizes are different from modern sizes. In
order to determine if the garment or shoes fits close attention must be paid to the actual measurement
provided in the item description. If additional measurements or information is needed than what is provided
please contact Anvintro directly for more information. It is also very helpful to compare the
measurements provided with measurements of similar garment or shoes that you own.
Garments must be measured when laying flat on hard surface. It is important not to stretch the garment
when measurements are taken. Garments are measured as follow:
DRESSES, BLOUSES, SHIRT COAT, JACKET,& SWEATER
(A) The length is from shoulder seam to bottom hem of garment.
(B) Shoulder is measured from shoulder seam at one side to shoulder seam at the other side or shoulder edge to shoulder edge if garment is sleeveless style.
(C) Bust measurement is taken at the fullest point of the bust or chest on the garment point to point,
1” below armhole. Other bust measurements direction might state a little different but in order for us to be
on the same page, please measure exactly as stated.
(D) Waist measurement is taken at the narrowest point unless otherwise specified
