SIZE GUIDE
The pullover is designed for an oversized fit with approx. 15-20 cm 5.9-7.9 inches of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be about 15–20 cm 5.9-7.9 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement, depending on preference.

To determine which size to choose, can be varies from person to person. It would be a good idea to measure some of your favorite LOOSE-fitting clothes to help you find out how much positive ease you tend to like. Please also keep in mind, because of the deep lapel neckline design, pullover naturally wears a bit larger at chest area. Then, pick the size accordingly.
