Button me up cardi

The Button Me Up Cardi has a positive ease of approximately 10–15 cm compared to your actual bust measurement. This means that if you, for example, measure 100 cm at the fullest part of your bust, size 5 will fit. If you prefer a more oversized fit, choose a larger bust circumference than your actual measurement. For a slimmer fit, choose a smaller size.
