Size is a serious matter yet inconclusive issue. The waist, bust or hips dimensions is not the only issue we should take into consideration while thinking if the cloth will fit. Thinking in inches only might cause a wrong decision.
If you check your clothes, assuming they all have the same size, you find out they are not the same, but still suits you perfectly. each one will look differently as they have different cut, style and character. Accessories might also contribute changing it from too big to precise.
Speaking about Vintage it complicates eve more. The size shown, if shown, is different from the size we are familiar with now a days.
So I will try to put it into proportion.
The size in Batchinista online shop will be indicated as per this scale, so you could measure yourself and decide in case of a doubt. Please do not decide the size is wrong before you have checked it.
