Measurements
While some items will have a size listed on the label, this is not always the case and with huge size discrepancies between items from different brands and eras, we size most of our items based on the measurements alone and not always what's present on the labels.
All measurements are taken with the item fastened (if applicable) and laid flat, then this number is doubled to give the chest or waist measurement. Dresses are sized based on both the chest and waist, we'll look at both measurements to work out the best size fit. Trousers & jeans will also have the length listed in inches too.

Labels
For items that do have (modern) size labels, we'll go with that unless we think it's fairly wrong and the item is considerably bigger/smaller than what the label indicates.
The size we list at is always the 'fits as' size, so for example if a hoodie has 'large' on the label but it would better fit as a small and corresponds more closely to a small in our chart below, we'll state it as a small in the listing.
You can always check the description of each item as we'll note the size on the label as well what we think it best fits as, just to avoid any confusion. Children's clothing will be sized based on the labels too.
We recommend you size up if you're between sizes, want a little extra room, or prefer an oversized fit.
Tops & Dress
Items are laid flat, fastened (if applicable) and the measurement is taken from armpit to armpit at the narrowest point, then this number is doubled to give the chest size.
With dresses, we measure from armpit to armpit and we also check the waist measurement too, making sure both sizes correspond to the same size brackets.
To find your own size, wrap a tape measure around your chest just under your armpits and take the reading, making sure the tape measure is straight all the way around you and not too loose or too tight.
Bottoms
Item is laid flat and fastened (if applicable) and the measurement is taken straight across the waist at the top of the garment. If an item is elasticated such as some skirts, our team will still look at the size when laid flat, though if it's super, super stretchy we may bump it up a size to account for any slackness.
We also use this measurement with dresses, which is taken straight across the waist.
To find your own size, wrap a tape measure around your waist, just above your hips, keeping the tape measure taught but not too tight. Take the reading, making sure to keep the tape measure straight all the way around you.
Kids sizing
Kids sizes are worked out slightly different to our usual adult collections. We use the age on the labels to apply the sizing via the chart pictured.
If no age or labels are present, we estimate the best size by comparing to similar sized items available on the high street. Our team are used to measuring clothes and working our sizing so they're almost always pretty accurate!
Use the filters to help narrow down your selection. Fresh items are added daily so if there's nothing available or to your taste, check back often!

Accessibility
This is a guide only, while we will try to ensure all items as part of a 1kg box will fall into the same size category, there may be slight variances. Please also remember there may be up to a 3" variance between garments in your box, one item may measure 36" at the chest for example, but another may be 39", in this instance both items would fall into the medium bracket. If you fall into two size categories, we recommend you size up - it's easier to adjust if it's slightly too big rather than slightly too small!
We want everyone to be able to shop our Mystery Boxes and while our size guide is pretty straight forward, we understand this isn't always the case if you have a disability or condition thats means you can't wear certain styles or items. Not ideal if you have no idea what you're getting! While we don't do custom box requests, we'll gladly make adjustments where possible.
If you have a medical condition or disability and your items need to meet certain specifications, please add a note at checkout detailing your requests, for example if you struggle with certain types of fasteners and would prefer no buttons or if you need elasticated waistbands for ease etc we'll certainly see what we can do.
With regards to severe allergies, we can try to avoid specific materials for you but please note that a significant quantity of our items don't have care labels so our staff may have difficulty with these requests and as such it may delay your order. We also can't guarantee there won't be any cross contamination from irritants such as dust or pet hairs as our items are generally shipped to us in tight bundles and bales from across the globe, so while most items are washed please be aware of this risk.
And on the topic of irritants, if you find certain laundry chemicals to be a problem, please check this page for details on what we use and a full list of ingredients.
