Sizing Guide 

At Vintage Reworx, we celebrate the uniqueness of vintage clothing. Our garments may vary from certain size standards that is why we measure every single item by hand to ensure you find the perfect fit. Below, you’ll find essential size guide. 

Understanding Vintage Sizing 

• Vintage sizing can differ significantly from modern sizing due to changes in fashion trends and manufacturing practices. Historical variations in numeric sizing, the practice of vanity sizing, different body shape ideals of the past, and the use of less stretchy fabrics, so it's crucial to consider these factors when selecting and fitting vintage pieces. That is why we measure every item by hand and measurements are taken in inches.
