    Clothing sizing

    Our clothing sizing is generally inline with other reproduction vintage brands from Vivien of Holloway to House of Foxy and Trashy Diva. The waistlines will be a cut a little closer to the body than commercial vintage brands such as Collectif and Voodoo Vixen so if you wear those brands it would be worth checking your waist measurement.

    The chart below shows the body measurements we work to. Our clothing is cut bigger than these measurements to allow for movement and ease and you can find the actual measurements for each garment on the tabs below. Note, your measurements should be smaller than the actual measurements to allow for movement!

    Jane Knitwear

    Our Jayne 1950s Cardigan is designed to be close fitting.

    While I (Katie) often size down in reproduction vintage knitwear for our knitwear (as a UK size 12, US size 8, bust 37"), I wear a Medium which gives a nicely fitted look. It would be possible for me to wear a Small if I wanted a super tight sweater girl look , or size up to a Large for a looser fit.

    It really depends on how you want to wear and style your knitwear.

    Small: UK 8 -10, US 4-6 bust measures 34-42", 86-106.50cm

    Medium: UK 12-14, US 8-10 bust measures 36-42", 91.5-112cm

    Large: UK 14-16, US 10-12, bust measures 38-46", 96.5-117cm

    X Large; UK 18+, US 14+, bust measures 40-48”, 101.5-122cm

    Perfect holiday dress. Very flattering design and have my straight figure an hourglass shape.

    Lovely Colour

    Well cut and designed dress. The neckline is very flattering . The fabric is a good weight and the colour is very rich . A petticoat , or some netting , helps show the skirt off to its full extent , though work well without if preferred.Nice quality zip.
