Size guide
Sweater No. 23 has an oversize fit. The smaller sizes have a larger positive ease than the larger to complement each body the best. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 35-40 cm [13.75-15.75 inches] in size XS-XL and 20-25 cm [8 - 10 inches] in size 2XL-4XL.
Size XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are based on European standard sizing and suit a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm [ 31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51 (51-55) inches
In example: You measure 88 cm [34.5 inches] around your chest 35-40 cm [13.75-15.75 inches] = 123-128 cm [48.25-50.25 inches]. Meaning you would choose a size S with a finished circumference of 126 cm [49.5 inches].
