Fit & Measurements

Sheer Size Guide

Start with the garment. Compare the flat measurements on the product listing with a similar piece you own that fits well. Sheer Fit is an estimate based on those measurements, the cut and construction; it is separate from the tagged size.

How we measure

Measure a similar garment laid flat and gently smoothed, without pulling or stretching it. Compare like-for-like flat widths in inches. Follow any qualifications on the product listing.

Bust — across the garment from pit to pit.

Waist — across the fitted or narrowest waist. An empire seam sits above the natural waist and is noted where applicable.

Hip — across the fullest part of the hip; flowing skirts may be less fitted here.

Length — from shoulder or the stated top edge to hem. Follow the starting point in the listing, especially for strapless or adjustable pieces.

Flat widths are not doubled. A 17-inch flat bust is approximately 34 inches around the garment; this is not a guarantee of fit on a 34-inch body. Compare with a similar garment and read the fit notes.

Body size reference (optional)

These are approximate body measurements, not flat garment widths. Do not halve this chart to create garment measurements: wearing room, stretch, lining and cut vary by piece.

Condition · 6.5/10

6.5/10 – Bead loss, loose threads, and light fraying at hem consistent with age and wear. Embellishment remains largely intact and structurally sound. Please review photos closely. The hem line is largely where beads are affected and sporadically throughout. Could be repaired if desired.

All Sheer Vintage pieces are secondhand and may show signs of age, previous wear, and storage consistent with vintage items.
