On this page we have given some examples of  garments we had for hire on the day this web page was made. Please note that as our stock is changing on a daily basis, you will need to let us know of your requirements ASAP such that we can compile a list of what we should have at that time which might be suitable.

VINTAGE SIZES

Whilst our collection is modest in number, we do stock a wide range of items in UK sizes from 8 - 16. Do bear in mind that over the decades, the actual sizes vary, and therefore what was a UK10 in 1950, probably isn’t now. In order to suggest suitable garments we will therefore need as much of the wearer’s size information that you can give us.

A FEW EXAMPLES

Please ASK for a full set of measurements for the items you are interested in.
