@shopmodig: Measuring best practices: 📌 Use a flexible measuring tape 📌 Make sure it is parallel to the floor 📌 Pull it taught, never tight or pinching 📌 BUST: Take a deep breath in and out with the tape placed 📌 Take a seat and stand up while tape is placed 📌 HIPS: Stand with your feet together "Will this fit me?" Is by far our biggest FAQ. We don't use sizes, and there is a very specific reason for this - If you have ever dealt or purchased vintage, one thing is very clear, measurements are the key to fit. Size numbers mean so many different things across eras, designers and styles, that a size has no universal meaning. Many Italian designers (Moschino, Valentino, Versace etc) tend to be very narrow in the hips compared to many French and American designers. Mugler has more exaggerated proportions compared to Emilio Pucci. A size 6 from Target would be a size 8/10 by other designer standards. Knowing your measurements is the easiest way to assess fit when you don't have the opportunity to try something on! Your measurements will give you greater insight into your own body and how things will look when they arrive compared to online images and videos. Knowing your measurements will lead to fewer returns, and a more satisfying vintage shopping experience! #howtomeasure #measureyourbody #takemeasurements #vintageclothing #measuring #bodymeasurements
