The sizes given are finished measurements. You should choose

your size based on the hip and sleeve measurements (C and D).
The hip is designed to fit with 2-6" of positive ease, and the sleeve
should fit with 0-2" of positive ease measured at the elbow. It is
easy to adjust the sleeve size, and instructions on doing so are
included in the pattern, so the hip measurement is more critical
for this pattern.
