size chart + sizing info

✯ sizing in vintage clothing is not standardized, so i've developed a size chart that i use to decide the approximate size or "best fit" for a garment. in a clothing item's description, each garment is assigned a "fits best on a ___" size, which is simply a suggestion based on the garment's measurements. if you know your body measurements, you can decide for yourself whether you'd like to wear an item tighter, looser, or true to size! 

if you're new to taking your own body measurements for buying clothing, here is a great resource for taking your own measurements, via sonic wave vintage on instagram! another tip is to measure a similar garment you already own and compare it to the item you're interested in purchasing.

 

even with measurements, finding items that fit you the way you want them to is complicated. that's why we have an exchange policy in place, just in case!
