Size guide
The Aria waistcoat is designed to have approx. 0 – 5 cm of positive ease. The sizes XS, (S), M, (L), XL, (2XL) fit a chest circumference of: 80 – 85; (85 – 90); 90 – 95; (95 – 100); 100 – 110; (110 – 120) cm. Before you start your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 92 cm around your bust, you should make a size M with a finished measurement of 94 cm, which will give you 2 cm of positive ease.
