Sizes: XS/S (M/L, 1X/2X) to fit bust measurements in the vicinity of 35 (42, 48) in/ 89 (106.5, 122) cm. Size is very flexible! Shown in size M/L.
Finished Measurements: Neck Circumference when buttoned: 15.75 (18.25, 21) in/ 40 (46.5, 53.5) cm Bottom edge length: 48 (57, 65) in/ 122 (145, 165) cm. Neck to CO edge length (at front of cape and including neckband): 15 (16, 17) in/ 38 (40.5, 43) cm. Cape works well at any length, but was designed to be about elbow length. Longer lengths will require more yardage.
