ABOUT VINTAGE SIZING
Confused about vintage clothing sizing? Today’s sizes have very little correlation to clothing size labels from past decades. Over the past 20+ years, designers and manufacturers have fed our egos by making standard size numbers smaller and smaller. Back in the 1960s, there was no size 0. The smallest size usually was a 6. Thus the legend of Marilyn Monroe wearing a size 12. Plus, today’s men and women are fitter, taller, and have much more muscle tone than people of earlier eras. Even undergarments make a difference. Today’s woman isn’t corseted, girdled, or wearing a stiff bra. So even the thinnest among us sometimes have trouble wearing vintage clothes.
