Size selection guide

The slipover has approx. 20 cm of positive ease in smaller sizes, gradually decreasing slightly in larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm. The measurements of the finished slipover are provided on the first page of the pattern. Measure yourself before starting the project to choose the correct size. For example: if your bust circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The bust circumference of the S-sized slipover is 109 cm, which would leave 19 cm of positive ease in this case.
