Sizing
I’m wearing my sweater in Size 2 (cropped with long sleeves) with 1.25”/3 cm positive ease at the Upper and Full Bust. Scroll for images showing the longer version in both sleeve lengths. Blue long sleeve sweater is also a Size 2, but modeled with 3.5”/9 cm positive ease. Yellow cap-sleeve sweater is Size 1 with 1”/2.5 cm positive ease. For the best and most flattering fit, choose the size closest to your upper bust measurement to achieve that gorgeous tailored shoulder and neckline. The A-line shaping will take care of any extra space you may need at your full bust. Not sure how to measure your Upper Bust? Check out this video tutorial to learn how to take proper measurements.
