Then measure straight down to the line that forms your chest circumference/bust span. + +The point of this measurement is to locate the fullest part of your bust vertically on your torso. + + + +##### Think about which hand you're using + +If you measure yourself, you might try to hold your measuring tape up to your shoulder with the hand on +the same side of your body as the shoulder you're measuring. So, for example, you could be holding the top of +the tape up to your right shoulder with your right hand, while your left hand is holding the end. +But that means you distort the length you are trying to measure by raising your arm on the same side. +You might not think there is a difference, but all is connected in the world of physiology, and +doing this could lead to an error of ~2.5cm (~1 inch) in your measurement.\ +Simply switch your hands around, and you get a more accurate measurement. + +For best results, get a second person to take your measurements (if possible). + +
