We’re proudly based in Canada and currently offer shipping to the USA only.

We understand that vintage sizing can be a little tricky, which is why we provide detailed measurements for every piece. We measure the pit to pit, waist, and length of each garment to give you the most accurate picture of how it will fit.
Keep in mind, vintage sizes can differ from modern ones, so we recommend checking the measurements before you make a purchase. If you have any questions or need help with sizing, we’re happy to assist!
How does every garment fit the model on your site?
How does every garment fit the model on your site?
Some of our garments are pinned to create the most flattering fit on our model. Since vintage pieces come in a range of sizes, we use pins to help larger garments fit better and showcase how they would look when properly sized. We always disclose this in the photos and descriptions so you get a true sense of how the item will fit you!
As much as we would love to showcase the pieces on all body types, we are mostly one-person operation and can’t afford to hire additional models just yet. We are working hard to grow the store, and hope to offer a more inclusive range of photos in the future!
