The All Stripey Sweater is designed to have approximately 8.5-11.25 inches (21.5–28.5 cm) of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 8.5-11.25 inches (21.5–28.5 cm) larger in circumference than your bust measurement. So if your bust measures 34 inches / 86.5 cm, knit a size S which will give a finished circumference of 42.5 inches / 107.5 cm.
