I just got 3 of my dresses back from alteration a few days ago.

According to my measurements, I was advised by customer service and also fans on the PUG's facebook page to order a size XL for 1 and a size 2XL for the other two.

They were all way too big...like extremely big. I got the L'Amour in pink chiffon overlay, the Evelyn in Pink and also the Courtesan Swing in Victorian Rose all taken in from top till bottom. I tried selling them but I am in AU and didn't get much interest. Shipping to US was too expensive. Alterations for all 3 cost me AUD$150 but I really wanted to wear the dresses.

The Courtesan Swing was the hardest to take in the bust as it had something like an in-built bra. The other two were easy.

I just got my 2nd order the other day (The Golightly Tipsy Elephant dress and also the Masuimi in Plum) and I got both in a size L. They both fit perfectly!!

I am not sure why even though my measurements are definitely a 2XL according to the website but the size L fits me perfectly. I love all their clothes and can't wait to order more!!

Good luck with your future purchases!!

I don't know if this will help or not, but whether it's PUG, modern, or true vintage, I almost ALWAYS have to have alterations done to my clothes - whether it's a hemming issue or shortening a top because it fits everywhere else but over my hips. Now, I just automatically calculate in my head the cost, plus shipping (if applicable) and the alterations. I am working on getting my own machine & dress form to do my own simple alterations (anything complicated I'm afraid I'll screw up!) so I can cut back on those costs, and put more into buying the item itself. I think to truly look put together and fantastic, you may have to do alterations, especially when you have a coke bottle figure with a large difference between waist and hips.

When I bought the Heidi Dress in leopard print I had it taken up a few inches so that it rested just above my knee. You see I think I'm a little shorter than Ms. Mayday in the picture on the website, and where her hemline was at her knee level, for me it was a few inches below my knees when I took the dress right out of the box.

A quick alteration from my friend later and the hemline is right where it is in the picture! :)
