Size Guide

How does sizing work?

Each of our product listings includes a marked size and further sizing advice. We also include product measurements on most of our listings, if these are missing and you require them please contact us on hello@the-collectibles.com. The marked size comes from the label on the garment and should only be used if you are familiar with other items from that brand, and from the same time period.

In the case that we list a range of sizes, we estimate that it will fit anyone within that range, but with a different look, e.g. if an item is marked UK 6-10 it will have an oversized look for smaller sizes and a form-fitting look for larger sizes. We find that some items we come across can be worn by a range of sizes and body types. If you have any queries about the sizing of a garment we are happy to give further information, simply email us at hello@the-collectibles.com

Measurements are the most accurate tool for understanding the size of an item. Details of how we take various measurements are listed below. We recommend you check these if you are unsure about how an item will fit.
