Size Guide

Sizes 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) are intended to fit a bust measurement of approximately 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) cm. The Alabaster Top is designed with about 6-10 cm of positive ease, but due to the hem and drawstring, the top may feel more fitted. The amount of ease gradually decreases as the bust size increases in sizes 5 and 6.

For example, if your bust measures 87 cm, you add 6-10 cm of ease = 93-97 cm. In this case, you should choose size 2, which has a finished bust circumference of 95 cm.

The model is wearing size 2.
