Vintage clothing fits smaller than modern sizes. We do not rely on the sizes on the labels because they usually do not correspond to today's sizes.
We measure our items to give you the best sense for size. We recommend comparing our measurements with the measurements of similar garments in your closet to get a sense for fit.
All sales are final. LaliSimone does not accept returns. Please contact us with any questions if you have a question about condition, fit or size.
