"chest" measurement

[afuna]

I'm thinking of making the Diamond Halter pattern, but I'm unsure about sizing.

Where it says chest measurement, does that mean to measure across the bust, or is it for around the portion right under the bust?

That's awfully ambiguous, isn't it? I'm going to guess the bust because she does mention the 'ribbed portion lightly stretched'.

That was my first thought, and then I second-guessed myself because I wondered if it meant for the ribbed portion to be the chest measurement and with negative ease that meant that it would be slightly stretched at that measurement.

But in light of your comment, I'm rethinking and I think I see what you mean!
