Okay those are NOT my measurements! :laugh:

My question is, what are? If I say I'm 36-34-46, it makes me sound like a total pear-shape, but over-the-cups measures 40".

Do you include you boobs in this measurement syzygy or is it just underwire?

I'm definitely hourglass and 40-34-46 more accurately reflects my shape. But does that make it sound like I have enormous ribs?

Helpasistaout!

    Your chest measurement is (or should be) the same as the band measurement on your bra.

    *smacks head* I've been doing this wrong all the time....

    *sigh* Um... is it your natural waist or 'where the jeans fit' waist?


    Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. :laugh:

    actually, lol, if you're measuring for your bra you would indeed measure your ribcage where your bra band would sit. but when a man, or socciety, talks about measurements ie 36-24-36 they mean the measurement of your breasts at their fullest. so over the nips. in fact, if you tell a guy your bra is 36 B for example, most of them think the 36 is the fullest measurement. unless they have had a girlfriend/wife who took them lingerie shopping. all they know about cup size is that bigger is better. (as a total generalization of course, every man is different. a lot of them do think that more than a handful is a waste)

    Fullest part of your bust, natural waist (smallest part), fullest part of your hips/bums

    Others have said this before, but this comment is succinct, so I'll quote you.

    This makes the most sense. That makes me 40-34-46 for now. I wonder if my waist will ever be under 30". I can only hope (and have a good diet and exercise, of course! hahahhah).

    Thx everyone!
