HOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
It is important to know your measurements when shopping for vintage, as this will ensure the best fit. Once you've taken your measurements, you can compare them to the measurements of an item.
BUST: Around the body at the fullest part of the bust
WAIST: Around the narrowest part of the waist / the natural waist
HIP: Around the body at the fullest part of the hips
When comparing measurements, and determining if an item is right for you, make sure you take into account stretch, room to move, and how you'd like an item to fit.
