Specifications
Origin
The loose-fitting, short-sleeved ALEDA blouse is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. The button band in the front is shifted to one side and extends down to the mid-body. The blouse is worked in rows to the end of the opening, then the body as well as the sleeves are completed in rounds. A decorative lace pattern adds interest to the tops of the sleeves.
The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: (XS; S; M) (L; XL; XXL) (3XL; 4XL; 5XL) = (76; 82; 90) (98; 107; 117) (127; 137; 147) cm / (30; 32; 35) (39; 42; 46) (50; 54; 58)” bust circumference (measured on the body). The blouse has a loose cut and should fit with 7 to 14 cm (2.8 to 5.5”) of positive ease, depending on the size. Example, if your bust measurement is 90 cm, work the blouse in size M and it will have a very loose fit with 14 cm of positive ease.
