chest size

Bust or pectoral girth

Chest size is a body measurement taken around the torso at its widest point, typically across the nipples and shoulder blades.

It's used primarily for fitting clothing—suits, shirts, bras, and outerwear are sized by chest measurement: What's your chest size? I'm a 42 regular.

In fitness contexts, chest size often serves as a marker of muscular development.
