This pattern was designed by and for myself. Roughly its UK size 16, but with enough room to get t-shirts etc underneath without tightness. To scale for yourself, use the tension gauge to work out how many stitches to increase or decrease by. Also, depending on the size of your boobage, you can cross-over more or less when stitching that part together.
