SKILL LEVEL
Advanced Beginner

Sizing
XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, 6XL)
Circumference at the widest part of bust: 29.25 (33, 37.25, 41, 45.25) (49, 53.25, 57, 60.5, 65)“ / 74 (84, 95, 104, 115) (124, 135, 145, 154, 165) cm, blocked

The top is designed with -1.5 to 1.5 inches (-4 to 4 cm) of negative to positive ease. Sample shown is knit in size XS. If in between sizes, it is recommended to select the smaller size.

The V-neck depth is dependent on how tightly the top is wrapped around your body, which affects the amount of fabric pulled towards the back. If wrapped more loosely, the depth will increase. If wrapped more tightly, the depth will decrease.
