Tired of designers not being upfront about sizing

This is the Isaeva Poncho by Ullen Knitwear that came out today and I have been so so excited for this pattern release. I’d even picked the colours of my yarn and was ready to press order. I couldn’t find any info about sizing in her previous posts, but I was hopeful that something like this seems like it could be made in a wide range of sizes. Checked today and it’s only graded up to fit a 120cm bust, with no info about its intended positive ease. That may be in the actual pattern but I don’t know for sure without buying it first. Sometimes I can get away with some patterns that are slightly too small (slightly chunkier yarn, adding some sneaky stitches, etc) on my 130cm bust.

I’m not mad at all, I know it’s not always easy to fit patterns accurately on larger busts - especially if the designer is smaller themselves. I just wish it was clearer from the start so people (me lol) don’t get excited and then disappointed and honestly a bit disheartened. It’s beautiful though, here is the pattern - https://ullenknitwear.com/all/p/isaevaponcho-en?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAOaadBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafZECIYyJiPOus5_qb1ZH7ozFreMf8PDbQUS1qZPomtAHBx2wpUapAdj3Ebcw_aem_KQj1CjqQ9bBIJBcKL3Y7nw
