"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?

Something that helps with this particular pattern is that they provide a schematic at the bottom which shows the garment measurements at various points.

Another thing to consider: usually the chest measurement refers to the garment's chest measurement, and then you need to consider how loosely or tightly you want it to fit.

Oh! I hadn't noticed that, thank you that is indeed very helpful.
