Size Guide:
Look at the measurements for “Your bust circumference”. Choose the size closest to you. Most likely, these measurements will not be exactly like yours. Example: If you measure the circumference at the widest part around the chest and it is 91 cm (35.8 inches), you can choose size 3. This gives you about 112-91 = 21 cm (44.1 - 35.8 = 8.3 inches) in ease of movement. This is higher than the maximum recommended ease, but due to the sweater’s shoulder fit, it will still fit nicely, albeit with a slightly more oversized look than intended. You can also choose size 2, which will give you 100-91 = 9 cm (39.3 - 35.8 = 3.5 inches) in ease of movement. So, it depends a bit on how loose you want the sweater to fit over the chest.
