How to pick your size: I recommend choosing the size where your actual chest measurement falls within the ‘to fit“ range. If your size falls between sizes, you have a choice to either size up or down. 10” 25 cm of positive ease is built into the pattern, based on the largest size in the range. For example: size 4 range to fit chest measurements from 40-46” 100-115 cm. Finished measurement is 54” 135 cm for size 4.
