Sizing Guide

The Blouse No. 5 is designed to be worn close to the body. It is recommended to allow for negative ease of approximately 5 to 8 cm.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) correspond to standard European sizes and fit the following bust circumferences:

80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120–130 (130–140) cm

Example:
If your bust circumference is 89 cm, by subtracting 5 to 8 cm of ease, you get a circumference of 81 to 84 cm. You should therefore knit size S, which has a finished bust circumference of 83 cm.

The model shown measures 169 cm, usually wears a European size 36 and is wearing size S here.
