We search far and wide for the unique, indie, and vintage-inspired items we carry. But with such a large selection, sizing can vary between brands and designers. Our size chart is based on general industry sizing standards combined with the measurements and sizing used by designers we carry.

Often, vintage items come to us without labels or with outdated sizing details. To help you best determine fit, we specifically measure the bust, waist, and hip for every One-of-a-Kind and vintage garment sold on ModCloth. Look under the 'Measurements' tab to find this info!
How to Measure a Garment
Choose a garment that you already own and that fits you well. Then, lay it flat and measure across the front. Compare your findings with your desired vintage item's measurements.
Inseam
Measure the entire length of the inner leg, from top to ankle.
Bust
Measure flat across the garment's front, just under the arms.
Waist
Measure the narrowest part of the garment. For pants and skirts: Measure the top of the garment.
Hips
Measure the widest part
of a garment (below the waistline).
Length
For dresses & tops: Measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the garment. For pants & skirts: Measure from the waist to the bottom of the garment.

Bust
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your breasts, making sure to keep the tape parallel to the ground. This measurement determines your bust size.
-
Waist
Wrap a measuring tape around your natural waistline, making sure to keep the tape parellel to the ground. This determines your waist measurement.
-
Hips
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, making sure to keep the tape parallel to the ground. This determines your hip measurement.
How We Provide Size Recommendations
Meet two of our fit models! These ladies' measurements correspond to our size chart for a standard size Small and Medium. They try on every garment we carry and, based on how each item fits, help us determine if it runs true to size, small, large, or has an oversized fit. We also consider fit for different builds and body types. Look on each item's page and 'Details' to find this info!
