Please review the measurements closely, as almost all vintage sizing is NOT true to contemporary sizing AND differs, sometimes widely, from designer to designer. The BEST way to determine fit is to compare these measurements to those of a garment that fits you perfectly! Any remarkable stretch will be noted in the listing, but I am ALWAYS here and happy to help...just message me and we'll figure it out!
