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!

1960s Black Oscar De La Renta
Stunning cocktail dress form the great Oscar De La Renta. Black crepe is fashioned into a classic cut dress with a fitted V neck bodice, long, lean arms and a skirt caught up at the waist with soft gathers. It's ultra feminine and so classic! The neckline and sleeves are edged in a fantastic thick gold cording and braiding, through which rhinestone ropes weave through to catch the light. Thick metal loops are also woven into the cording so you get this wonderful 3D effect - its like having a built in neck piece and jeweled cuff bracelets! It has hidden side pockets. It's absolute perfection in every way, elegant, refined, easy to wear and an absolute showstopper. Excellent condition and a stunning example of his earlier work for evening wear!
