SIZE GUIDE
The sweater is intended for an oversized fit with approx. 20 cm [7.9 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be about 20 cm [7.9 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) are recommended to fit a bust circumference of 85-95 (95-100) 100-105 (105-110) 110-115 (115-120) 120-125 (125-130)cm [33.5-37.4 (37.4-39.4) 39.4-41.3 (41.3-43.3) 43.3-45.3 (45.3-47.2) 47.2-49.2 (49.2-51.2) inches]. 
 
For example, if your measurement of bust circumference (or around your widest part of your upper body) is 88 cm [34.6 inches], according to the calculation, you would pick the garment with finished circumference of 108 cm [42.5 inches]. So a size XS would be the choice.
