Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to standard European sizes and fit a bust measurement of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.25) 39.25-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55) 55-59 inches].
Example: If your bust measures 86 cm [33.75 inches] – 8-10 cm [3.25–4 inches] = 76-78 cm [29.75–30.75 inches]. Therefore, you should knit a size S with a bust circumference of 76 cm [30 inches]. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size.
