I would love to know this also. I've never had much luck myself at vintage fairs, but I think it's because I give up too easily when faced by rails with no size labelling. (Which is totally understandable given that putting a modern size on a vintage piece is going to be an approximation at best, but I still worry that people are looking at me thinking 'does she seriously think she'll find anything to fit her?')

I also once had the experience of a lady who had just sold a tweed jacket to my husband for a steampunk weekend going through her shelves despite my attempts to stop her, picking out everything she thought might be steampunk and waving it at me saying 'of course, that's not for you' as if she thought I might be hiding a few size 10 friends under my skirt, but while that was the wrong-kind-of-hilarious at the time it was definitely a one-off.

I suspect the problem is at least partly that it's much easier to take things in than let them out. :(
