love notions laundry day tee

I fall between the sizes and the advice given on pattern is to go smaller but it doesn't say how much ease is included other than a couple of inches at the waist and hips. I thought I might have been able to grade by printing the 2 sizes but when i tick the sizes I want it just prints one of them.Can anyone tell me how much ease is included in the bust?
I am planning to make the dress version.
If all else fails I will print the 2 sizes separately stick them together and then grade.
The pattern is sized s m l etc. and there is 4 inch between the sizes.

Would think you could get an idea from the measurement of the pattern piece, try comparing it with a tee that fits you well. I’d just print off the larger size and grade downwards where necessary. But then I suppose I’m a bit lazy!

I’ve made about 6 of these.. the amount of ease does depend on your fabric. I used a 95% cotton 5% Lycra and there is almost no ease around the bust... another couple were made from different fabrics and there was a couple of inches ease. I found it to be quite fitted.

I can't remember what size I used, but I found the armholes and sleeves way too tight for my generous arms. They had apparently revised it to make the armholes bigger, but it still wan't any good for me.

@Efemera
thanks for info. I am going for the larger size, I can always take if too big. As the fabric I have in mind was very (by my standards) expensive I will try on some cheapo stuff I have first.
