Sizing & Conversion Charts
Sizing of vintage clothing differs very much from that of today's sizes so here at Lady Pearl's we show you the measurements of each garment.
Measurements are taken when the item of clothing is lying flat and are as shown on the diagrams (right).
Please allow for room of movement when you check our measurements, you will need to be able to breathe!
