“How do I know my vintage size?” is one of the most common questions I’m asked by vintage lovers.<\/p>\n

When I released my e-book, the 100 Best Vintage Shops Online<\/a>, reader Xia asked me to address where to find plus-size vintage.<\/p>\n

She said in her message to me, “My only critique [of the e-book] is I think there needed to be something in there for plus-size girls, and how they can also buy beautiful vintage, as I find that a big issue when buying vintage clothes … nothing ever fits.”<\/em><\/p>\n

My heart broke after reading what she wrote. I feel I did readers of the book a disservice by not addressing the plus-size market and where to find great vintage for their body types.<\/p>\n

However, the reason I didn’t address it in my e-book is because I don’t believe in “plus-size.” It’s like calling me, a 5’9″ woman, “tall size.” There is fashion for every body type and personality. We shouldn’t feel subjected to using a marketing term to discover great vintage.<\/p>\n

That’s why today, I decided to ease your frustrations with the real truth behind vintage sizing, and why women of every single modern body type<\/em> are going to have some degree of difficulty finding a perfectly fitted garment.<\/p>\n

Thanks to great guides on eBay about finding plus-size vintage<\/a> and Etsy stores like Curvy Elle specializing in plus-size styles<\/a>, vintage lovers of all beautiful body types have options. Even us “tall size,” “petite size,” “flat size,” “stout size” … you get the point!<\/p>\n

Dressing for confidence is the key to any outfit. Have a question about what looks good? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
