Fit Guide

Here at Birthday Life Vintage, we're real sticklers for accurate measurements! We want you to shop with confidence, and be able to wear what you've ordered - fancy that!

To determine if something from Birthday Life Vintage will fit you, you can either
(a) take your exact measurements using a soft tape measure (or string and ruler if you don't have one) while wearing a slip or unpadded bra
or
(b) compare the measurements provided in a listing with something of similar shape in your closet - just make sure it's something you feel fierce in!
