chest measurement
Around the ribcage
Chest measurement is the circumference of the torso at its widest point, typically taken around the fullest part of the chest with arms relaxed at the sides.
It's used primarily for fitting clothing—shirts, jackets, and bras rely on chest measurements to determine size.
My chest measurement is 42 inches.
