Questions and Answers

If you can't see the answer to your question below, please click here to email us
& we'll get back to you promptly.

Q How Do You Size Vintage Clothing?

Over the years, women's sizes have changed significantly, so for instance a dress labelled a size 12 in the 70s, would be more likely to fit someone who is a 10 today.

Because of this, we measure each item carefully and give the measurements, as well as it's modern day equivalent size, ignoring the size on the label, as it is almost certainly inaccurate.




Q What Is Your Returns Policy?

We accept returns within 7 working days of your receiving your item. Please refer to the 'delivery & returns' page for more return, refund & exchange information.
