Size guide
Tulipan Tee is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 5-10 cm [2-4”], depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. It is shown here with a positive ease of 12 cm [4.75“] (light blue tee) and with a positive ease of 8 cm [3.25”] (crème tee).
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the tee). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the tee's measurement.
For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37”], a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 10 cm [4”] (104 cm – 94 cm = 10 cm) [41” - 37” = 4”].
*The length is measured at the center back, excl. the neckline.
