SIZING
------
All of my garment patterns are size inclusive up to at least at 60” full bust circumference.
Sizes by finished bust circumference
In inches: (40, 44, 48) [52, 56, 60] {64, 68, 72} inches
In cm: (102, 112, 122) [132, 142, 152] {163, 173, 183} cm
To choose your size, measure the circumference around the fullest part of your bust, then add 6-12” (depending on how much ease you want) and choose the closest size.
A note about ease: This tee is designed to be worn with 6-12” of ease; however, to get the fit represented in the pattern sizes, folks at the smaller end of the size range may prefer less ease (6-9”) and folks at the higher end may prefer more ease (9-12”).
In the pattern photos, Jacqui (short sleeve mustard and long sleeve cream) is wearing the size 60 with 12” of ease, and Julia (cerulean) is wearing the size 48 with 9” of ease.
