Please take a minute and read my guide to how I measure everything! You can find it in the bottom row of links on every page of the site.
I measure the actual garment so that you can compare it to one of your own that fits you perfectly, rather then trying to sort countless sizing vintage methods into modern day standards.
I then sorted everything into these size charts and into size categories for you to use as a guideline to help you shop quicker!

1980s Vicky Tiel Couture Silk Dress
An insanely gorgeous Vicky Tiel Couture dress is cut in her signature, bombshell, follow every curve (and make them where they don't exist!!) This dress is a marvel of construction. The entire bodice is cut and boned giving it built in support. Its is impeccably seamed as one would expect and the bodice is almost corset like. The skirt has a faux wrap that gathers up at one side of the waist and the hem is curved - there is actually a slit behind that front secured wrap so you get a bit of flash of leg to just above the knee when you sit or walk. The sleeves are long and fitted. Its a true little beauty the stunning pink and vibrant green floral print on the a backdrop of tone on tone printed black silk makes it even more so! Mint condition
