Size guide:
The Sweet and Naughty Top is designed to have approxmately 3-8 cm [ 1.25-3.25 inches ] of positive ease across all sizes meaning it is designed to be 3-8 cm [ 1.25-3.25 inches ] larger in circumference than your actual bust measurement.
The sizes, XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 115.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) 152-158 cm
[ 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54 (56- 58) 60-62 inches ] and a cross-back shoulder width (shoulder tip to tip) of 31 (32.5) 33.5 (34.5) 37 (38) 40.5 (43) 44 cm
[ 12.25 (12.75) 13.25 (13.75) 14.5 (15) 16 (17) 17.5 inches ].
For the best fit around your bust and shoulder, choose a size that is closest to your bust measurement and 5 - 7.5 cm [ 2 - 3 inches ] smaller than your cross-back shoulder width measurement.
For example, If you measure 86 cm [ 33.75 inches ] around your bust and 37 cm [ 14.5 inches ] at the cross-back shoulder width, you should knit a size S. A size S top has a bust circumference of 89 cm [ 35.5 inches ], which in the given example would give you 3 cm [1.25 inches]of positive ease and cross-back shoulder width of 32.5 cm [ 12.75 inches].
Note: If you have a bust size larger than a C cup, this pattern may not provide the best fit unless you add a bust dart. This pattern does not include bust dart instructions.
