Size guide
The vest is designed to be worn with approx. 5 cm / 2” of negative or positive ease at bust. That means that the vest should shape your figure and not to be oversized as it can be worn as a top too.
First, measure your own bust. Then, add or remove approx. 5 cm / 2” of your bust circumference. Compare that number to the finished measurements (below) and choose the closest size.
You can also measure your favourite vest or top to determine the amount of ease you prefer.
