Breast Measurement
Breast measurement, also known as Bra size or Bust size, refers to the size characteristics of a woman's breasts. It is conventionally measured by the size of the Brassiere, a garment designed to cover, support, and elevate the breasts.
Pronunciation
Breast Measurement: /ˈbrɛst ˈmɛʒərmənt/
Etymology
The term "Breast Measurement" is derived from the English words "breast" meaning the front of the chest, and "measurement" meaning the size, length, or amount of something, ascertained by measuring.
Related Terms

- Breast augmentation: A surgical procedure to increase the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts.

Measurement Process
Breast measurement involves two key measurements: the band size and the cup size. The band size is the measurement around the woman's torso just under the breasts, while the cup size is determined by the difference between the band size and the measurement around the fullest part of the breasts.
Importance
Accurate breast measurement is crucial for choosing the right bra size, which can significantly impact a woman's comfort, posture, and the look of her outfits. Incorrect bra size can lead to discomfort, back pain, and potential damage to the breast tissue.
