Finished depth is 2.6 cm and the fullness is about 1.8 to 1, so it is gathered to nearly twice the sleeve edge and stands out rather than hanging flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sleeve's lower edge carries a 1 cm seam allowance rather than a hem allowance, because the frill goes there. Both the sleeve and the frill carry a centre notch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is the only woven pattern in the range. Everything else is a knit shaped by stretch, binding or gathering. This one is shaped by darts, two long ones in the back and one short one at each side of the front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing runs the opposite way to the knits. The finished bust carries 3 to 8 cm of ease over the body and there is nothing to stretch, so between sizes take the larger one. The side seams and the darts give you room to take it in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fits-bust ranges are 77 to 82, 83 to 87, 88 to 92, 93 to 97, 98 to 103 and 104 to 110 cm, XS to XXL.
