Buying Vintage
Don’t always believe the label - vintage sizes come up much smaller than modern sizes. To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for instructions on how to take your measurements, please check my Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!
For reference, our model Flo is a UK 6-8 in Vintage Akimbo sizing.
