SIZE GUIDE
The slipover is intended for loose fit at chest with baggy look at body. Because of deep arm openings, bust circumference measurements are approximate and have a more oversized feeling. It is recommended to wear with approx. 5-8 cm 2-3 inches of positive ease. Larger sizes appear to have comparably narrow top to the bottom.

For which size to choose can be varies from person to person. It would be a good idea to measure some of your favorite loose fitting clothes to help you find out how much positive ease you tend to like. Then, pick the size accordingly.
