For a relaxed fit, the finished chest measurement is 4 to 6 inches larger. An oversized garment has a finished chest measurement 6 or more inches larger than the actual chest measurement of the wearer. A garment could have an oversized, relaxed, standard, tight, or very tight fit. Finished measurements are more specific and should be carefully considered. Sizes are specified in very general terms, such as S (small), 1X (extra large), and 0-6 months. Most patterns include Size and/or Finished Measurement sections to indicate the expected dimensions of the finished piece. It is even more important to know whether a sweater will actually fit you.
