Note that after wearing, the weight of garment will pull the circumference closer to 37 (40, 44, 48, 52, 55)” / 94 (102, 112, 122, 132, 140) cm and the length to 27 (27.5, 28.5, 29, 29.75, 30.5)” / 68 (70, 72, 74, 76, 77) cm. Because the garment is straight with no waist/hip shaping, knit a big enough circumference for your body wherever you plan to end the length.
