Measurement Policy

I personally measure each item in my collection to ensure accurate sizing. Sizes are not consistent between brands so please pay close attention to the measurements and sizes listed and, if needed, refer to the sizing chart on the specific brand's website.

I lay all clothes flat when measuring and round up to the nearest ¼ inch.

Bust: Measured from armpit seam to armpit seam all the way around garment.
Length: Measured from highest point on garment (typically the shoulder seam) to bottom of garment.

Sleeve: Measured from shoulder seam to end of sleeve.

 

Dresses:
Bust: Measured from armpit seam to armpit seam all the way around garment.
