Vintage Sizing
Love Faustine Clothing Sizing Guide
How to Ensure You Receive Our Eco-Friendy, Sustainable Lifestyle Clothing in the Size You Need.
When shopping for vintage and pre-loved designer pieces online, it's always best to follow the actual garment measurements listed rather than rely on a size tag, since clothing and fit changes from decade to decade and also differs depending on the brand.
We carefully measure each piece in our shop, and try to always translate that to a suggested modern size equivalent in the listing. Please keep in mind that clothing shown on models may be pinned to show proper fit.
Measuring a Garment
• All measurements are taken in inches with the garment lying flat.
• Bust, waist and hip measurements are seam to seam (you must DOUBLE to get the size around your body)
• If an item is stretchy, we give a measurement range, from flat to the garment comfortably stretched.
• When a measurement is listed as “free or full”, it means that the garment is roomy and will fit a range of sizes.
