Taking Measurements
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat. We specify as many dimensions in the descriptions as possible because the clothes do not always correspond directly with modern sizes. We do estimate the modern sizes but please ensure that you check all dimensions carefully before placing your order. To do this you could compare the sizes against one of your items at home. Below is a guide that will help you.
The following table provides an approximate conversion from UK to European and North American sizes.
