Measure yourself before beginning to ensure you get the proper fit. For example, if your bust measures 38 in/96.5 cm and you would like 3 in/8 cm of positive ease, that would be a finished measurement of 41 in/104 cm which would be size C. If you’re in between sizes, pick the larger or smaller size depending upon if you’re more comfortable with more or less positive ease.
