Clothing measurements

Bust

The fullest part of the chest, used for sizing women's tops, dresses and bras.

As a body measurement, the bust is measured around the fullest part of the chest, with the tape level all the way around and not pulled tight.

On a flat-lay size chart, bust width is the distance across the garment at the bust, from one side seam to the other.
