Sizes (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to European standard sizes and fit a chest measurement of approximately (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm (31.5-33.5) 33.5-35.5 (35.5-37.5) 37.5-39.25 (39.25-43.25) 43.25-47.25 (47.25-51.25) 51.25-55 (55-59) inches.

Example: Your bust measurement is 88 cm 34.75 inches + 30-35 cm 11.75-13.75 inches = 118-123 cm 46.5-48.5 inches. Therefore, you should knit size S with a bust circumference of 119 cm 46.75 inches.

The model is wearing size S.
