Sizes: S (M, L, XL)
Crossback Measurement: Approx. 13 (14.5, 16.5, 18)” / 33 (37, 42, 46) cm
(Crossback measurement is more important that bust circumference in this pattern. Measure your crossback width, which is shoulder blade to shoulder blade.) Size recommendations are listed below based on ‘standard’ crossback measurement for different bust sizes but I recommend measuring your own as these standards can vary across different individuals:
Based on ‘Standard’ Crossback Measurements:
• Size S: fit bust sizes 30-36”/ 76-91 cm
• Size M: fit bust sizes 38-44”/ 97-112 cm
• Size L: fit bust sizes 46-52”/ 117-132 cm
• Size XL: fit bust sizes 54-60”/ 137-152 cm
