In clothing, the term "bust" refers to the measurement around the fullest part of a persons chest. It is an important measurement used in determining the size and fit of tops, dresses, and bras. To measure the bust, one should wrap a measuring tape around the back, under the arms, and across the fullest part of the bust, ensuring that the tape measure is flat against the figure and straight across the back, but not too tight. This measurement is crucial for selecting the right size and achieving a proper fit when purchasing or altering clothing items. Understanding ones bust measurement is essential for ensuring comfort and confidence in the fit of clothing and undergarments.
