2. Bust measurement

To measure the bust accurately, drop your arms and place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. It’s recommended to have someone else measure you for the most precise results. Make sure you wear a bra before measuring to ensure comfort and prevent clothes from being too tight in the bust area.
