Sizing & Measuring Guide

At Adored Vintage we curate timeless and feminine vintage inspired clothing from many independent brands and makers therefore sizing can vary from each maker. To help make your shopping experience easier at Adored Vintage, we provide measurements of every size available. 

Common Measurements We Take

• Length: Measured from top of garment to hem
• Waist: Measured across waistline then doubled
• Chest: Measured armpit to armpit, in some cases doubled. For sweaters and loose fitting knits we will put "across chest (relaxed)"
• Bodice (Dresses): Measured from top of garment to waist seam
• Shoulders: Shoulder seam to shoulder seam
• Sleeves: Shoulder seam to hem of sleeve
• Hips: Measured approx 7" down from natural waistline, measured across, then doubled

How We Measure

Our garments are measured laid flat and relaxed and we may make recommendations for sizing with notes like "best for" or "best up to". We recommend comparing these measurements to a garment you already own. To do this, lay your garment on a flat surface and measure your garment with a clothing tape measure and take the necessary measurements. 

On occasion we may recommend to size up or size down on certain garments. Remember, just because you are one size in one store or brand does not mean you will be the same size across the board. Pay close attention to the measurements given.
