How to choose a size: I recommend 2-4” (5-10 cm) of negative ease in the smaller sizes and no ease to a small positive ease in the larger sizes at the bust. Also meaning that if you have a small bust, it’s better to make it tighter, but if you have large bust, you might want to make it exactly in your size or slightly bigger.
