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!

1940s Pink Dot Swing Dress
What a stunner! This is a fantastic mix of dotted pink silk (the color is slightly more pink then shown) and black crepe. The skirt is tiered into rows of each fabric and gradually gets fuller as it works its way towards the hem. I adore the bodice with its shorter sleeves - each cuffed so you can wear them above the elbow as shown and create a fantastic poofed effect. A lovely Peter Pan collar has an attached tie of dotted silk so you get a pop of color near the face. Faux pearl buttons run up the front and are an each sleeve and if all that where not enough the entire edge where it buttons at the front is scalloped. Its in mint condition and just to die!
