SIZE GUIDE
The sweater is intended for a relaxing fit with approx. 10-15 cm 4-6 inches of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be about 10-15 cm 4-6 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 cm 33.5-35.5 (35.5-37.5) 37.5-39.5 (39.5-43.25) 43.25-47.25 (47.25-51.25) 51.25-55 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 103 cm 40.5 inches. So a size XS would be the choice. When in between sizes, knit a size up would be the recommendation.
