Which size to choose depends on whether your prefer a more loose or close fit.

 

The Dolman sleeve design allows for a slightly bigger bust. So if you exceed the bust measurement in the table by 1-2cm you can still choose the smaller size (as long as the waist of the downgraded size still fits you - or you could choose the custom waist then in addition). Example: Bust 95cm/Waist 71cm - you can choose Size M.
