size guide
*All measurements in our descriptions are approximate*
Measurements are taken while laying down flat and doubled at the bust/chest, waist, and hips. An asterisk(*) will be next to the measurements that are doubled. The "best fits" size is just an estimate, and vintage sizing can vary from modern sizing. Please use measurements to ensure proper fit. The best thing to do is measure a similar item of your own, and compare.

size guide reference
The size guide down below is a reference guide. In case you need to compare your own clothing to our sizes. Not all items will look like the graphics down below. For example, our lace vest has a collar and is worn like a tank top. You would reference the measurements from the parts of a shirt and a tank top. If you would like to measure shorts go to the pants reference guide.
If you have any questions or if you need help please email us at care@collectorofvision.com.
*If you are comparing your own clothes make sure all the wrinkles are pressed flat to ensure accurate measurements. You may use a 60in. soft measuring tape to measure clothing and a ruler to measure feet.
FOOT LENGTH
When measuring your foot, stand on a solid even surface wearing socks that you intend to wear with the shoes you are planning to purchase. Some shoes you probably won’t wear socks, like heels. Place a ruler on the ground. Place your heel at the lowest end of the ruler, starting at 0. Where your toe ends is the length of your foot.
FOOT WIDTH
Place the ruler on the ground. Place the widest part of your foot at the lowest end of the ruler, starting at 0. Where the other side of your ends is the width of your foot.
You can find your corresponding measurements in the shoe size chart.
