Size Guide
The Tangent Sweater is designed to have approximately 15 - 20 cm or 6 - 8 inches of positive ease. To find your size, measure your bust circumference and add 15 - 20 cm for the sweater circumference. If you like a looser fit, add 20 cm to your bust circumference and if you like a more fitted sweater, add 15 cm of positive ease.
