Virle Cole Vintage Clothing Measurement Guide

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SIZE TO ORDER? 

Hey Young Soul! As you may know Vintage sizing differs from modern day sizing. To ensure that you are purchasing the right size please refer to the descriptions below which denotes how we measure our clothing laid flat. In the listing description, the measurements will be added for each item.

Some vintage clothing may have its original tags which may list the size. Just remember, a size large today meant it was probably a size small in the old days. We want you to be happy with your purchase, so we encourage u to measure Up!
