Final measurements: This top is meant to be worn with 1/3 plus 1/2 of the original bust circumference at the largest point of the bust. For example, the model has a 34”/86 cm bust size and is wearing the 28”/71 cm bust size:
34 divided by 3 = 11.3
34 divided by 2 = 17
11.3 + 17 = 28.3 x 6 (st gauge) = 170 sts/28”/71 cm bust width
