full bust

Entire upper measurement

Full bust is a body measurement taken around the fullest part of the chest, typically across the nipples.

In sewing and bra fitting, it contrasts with the underbust or band measurement.

Pattern adjustments for those with larger breasts are called full bust adjustments.

The term also describes garment sizing designed for fuller-chested figures.
