Sizes: finished 36, (40, 44, 48) inches
Sizing Note: This is a close-fitting garment. If the wearer's bust measures 32-36 inches, she should make size 36, if she measures 38-40" she should choose size 40, and so forth. If they follow the usual rule of leaving 3-4" ease larger than their measurement, it will be too loose fitting.
