Sizing
Sizing
Pre-owned clothing labels have often worn or washed away. Many garments are handcrafted with no label. Because the height and width of the average person has increased over the years labels that have survived will not be true to size. For this reason, it is essential that both you and the pre-owned garment are accurately measured to ensure a good fit.
All of our garments are measured as accurately as possible and reported in the item description. You can estimate the fit of our clothing by comparing our measurements to those of a good fitting garment you own, or to those of your own body. Please make use of our instructions, models, and size chart before ordering.
Measuring Your Clothing
SHOULDERS: Widest area just under the back collar
SLEEVES: From the seam or outermost part of the shoulder to hem
BUST/CHEST: Just under the arms or the fullest part of the chest, one side x 2
WAIST: Around the natural waistline or smallest part of the torso one side x 2

Measuring Yourself

To spare our customers from reading endless measurements, Night of Joy has designated each item of clothing a general size category using the charts below. You need only scrutinize the fine details for those items in your size category.
