Your best fit
Choose the size closest to your actual upper chest measurement: 31 (34.25, 37.5, 40.75) [44, 47.25, 50.5] (53.75, 57, 59.25, 61.5) inches / 78.5 (87, 95.5, 103.5) [112, 120, 128.5] (136.5, 145, 150.5, 156) cm.
Upper chest is measured above the full bust, at an angle close to diagonal beneath the underarms, and straight across the back.
Alice is designed to fit with approximately 2 inches / 5 cm of positive ease at the fullest part of your bust.
If you need additional room for the bust, working the optional short row shaping will give you the best fit in the shoulders and armholes, while still making room for your chest. Short rows add length to the front only of the garment, so that the hem does not rise in the front.
Elizabeth is wearing size 2 with 2 inches / 5 cm of positive ease at the full bust. Her upper chest is 34 inches / 85 cm.
