Size Guide

The Frankie Blouse should have approximately 0-5 cm of positive ease compared to your bust circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80 85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished blouse can be found on the front page (note that these measurements are only valid if the gauge is adhered to). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A blouse in size S has a bust circumference of 91 cm and would have 1 cm of positive ease in the example given. A size chart can be found here.
