How do you grade vintage condition?

We use a standard condition scale: Fair, Good, Very Good, and Mint. Most pieces fall in the Very Good range, showing only minor wear from age and careful use. Each product description includes detailed notes.

What are your shipping and return policies?

Orders ship within five business days. International buyers are responsible for duties and taxes. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery—please notify us within 10 days of receipt. Buyer pays return shipping, and we do not charge a restocking fee. Full details appear on our Shipping & Returns page.

How does vintage clothing sizing compare to modern sizes?

Vintage clothing often runs smaller than modern sizes, especially garments from the 1940s–1970s. Sizing standards have changed over time, and many vintage pieces were tailored for slimmer fits. Always check the measurements in each listing and compare them to a garment you already own.

ABOUT VINTAGE SIZING

A Note About Vintage Sizing

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR VINTAGE CLOTHING

Vintage Clothing Care

Always handle vintage clothing gently and avoid harsh detergents or machine washing unless specified. Most pieces should be hand-washed in cool water or dry-cleaned by a professional familiar with delicate or antique fabrics. We recommend Oxyclean for stains. Also test for color fastness. Hang or dry flat.

Store items in breathable garment bags away from sunlight and moisture to preserve fabric color and structure.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

We ship items within five business days. Occasionally, there might be shipping delays. If this occurs, we will promptly notify you.

Clothing and accessories ship via USPS Priority Mail, UPS, or FedEx, selecting the best option based on price and insurance. Jewelry ships either First Class or Priority. For overseas orders, we use International First Class. Please refer to our Shipping Information for detailed rates.

International buyers are responsible for all customs duties. PLEASE NOTE: Starting July 1, 2021, EU members will incur VAT taxes based on the specific country’s tax rates during importation.

We know you may be wary about buying vintage items. If so, we do offer returns. If you receive vintage pieces and are dissatisfied or if the item doesn’t fit, please inform Madge of your return request within 10 days of receiving the merchandise. You must return the items within 30 days after notifying us.
