Choosing your size and fit:

The stated measurements are the actual final garment measurements, with no ease. Choose a size with approx. 0-4” / 0-10cm positive ease depending on the fit you want to achieve. To select a size, take your bust measurement and add your chosen amount of ease.

The pattern is designed for a cropped length, if you wish to make the body longer, continue working the body longer before splitting for the front and back. Take into account the extra yardage will be required.
