Intended Ease
The vest is designed to have 5-11 in / 12-27 cm of postitive ease. The model is wearing size S with approximately 12.25 in / 31 cm of positive ease. Her chest circumference is approximately 30” (78 cm). For reference, with a 36” (90 cm) bust, I alternate between size S (for a closer fit) and size M (for more ease).

Measure your bust and add your preferred amount of ease, or measure a favorite well-fitting top and select the size with the closest finished measurements.
