• First, let’s measure your bust size and then divide by 2, for example, my bust size is 32/2 so I will get 16 inches for my size.
• Feel free to add more inches for a loose-fitting or perfect fit, for example, if I will add 2 more inches for loose fitting for my sweater. 

If you girl wants your sweater to be loose fitting just add 2 more inches for your bust after diving by 2 or if you want an oversize sweater add 4 more inches.
