(about NuclearWardrobe sizing)
All garments have a listed "size" and measurements. The "size" given is what
the garment was originally marked as. If the item seams have been stretched
out or shrunk (these are vintage items!), a note will be made that gives the
more approximate size.
The garments are measured, laying flat, as follows:
Bust: across front from underarm to underarm, then doubled.
Waist: across front most narrow width, then doubled.
Hips: 8" ( 23 cm) below waist, across front, then double.
Length: either from shoulder to hem, or waist to hem (for dress/skirts/ pants)
or from shoulder to waist (for sweaters/blouses)
Sleeve length: from shoulder to cuff
Inseam: inner pant leg seam, crotch to cuff
Rise: from waist to crotch seam
These are the U.S.size markings/ measurements we use:
B= Bust (fullest part of bust)
W=Waist (narrowest part of natural waistline, right under ribcage...yep, it
really is that high)
H=Hips (fullest part of hip, ~8" below waist....yes, it is around your tush)
Modern: present day, reproduction
Vintage: 1940s-1950s
**Measure yourself around with a soft, flexible tape measure. AND Measure
a similar garment. Compare to measurements below.
** Always measure yourself TWICE.
**It is adviseable to add about 2" to your taken measurements for an ideal,
comfortable fit.
X-Small: B = 33", W = 25", H = 35"
(MODERN: 4 = VINTAGE: 8)
Small: B = 34-35", W = 26-27", H = 36-37"
(MODERN: 6-8 = VINTAGE: 10)
