The construction of this design is knit in a top-down manner, with basic increases, and features I-cord bind offs for the sleeves and hem. This design includes about 0.5 - 1.0” of positive ease, so when selecting your preferred size choose the size closest to your accurate bust measurements. If in-between sizes I recommend going up a size if you do not prefer a snug fit, and going down a size if you love that hug your skin crop top vibe.

Size Options: (based on bust measurement in inches)
XS (S , M , L , XL)2XL , 3XL , 4XL
