[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Knitting size question

[carcione at access.net]

I took a workshop during the Knit Happy Summit about choosing the right size
from a pattern, but I guess I didn't understand it as well as I thought.  

I'm looking at a pattern for a summer top at Lion Brand.  It says:

To fit bust: 28 (32, 36, 40, 44)(48, 52, 56, 60)"

Finished Bust: 40 (44, 48, 52, 56)(60, 64, 68, 72)"

It also says the pattern has 12 inches of ease.  

That seems like a whole lot of ease.

I'm roughly "large" in the "to fit" specs, but I'm thinking that I could
choose size medium and still have 8 or so inches of ease, so it would still
be plenty loose.

Do other experienced knitters think that is correct?
