SIZE GUIDE
The blazer is intended for approx. 7 cm 2.8 inches of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be about 7 cm 2.8 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) are intended to fit a bust circumference of 85-90 (90-95) 95-105 (105-115) 115-125 (125-135) cm 33.5-35.5 (35.5-37.5) 37.5-41.3 (41.3-45.3) 45.3-49.2 (49.2-53.1) inches.
For example, if your measurement of bust circumference (or around your widest part of your upper body) is 88 cm 34.6 inches, according to the calculation, you would pick the garment with finished circumference of 95 cm 37.4 inches. So a size S would be the choice. When in between sizes, knit a size up would be the recommendation.
