Bust Size Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Bust Size (BS) is:

\[ \text{BS} = \frac{\text{UB} + \text{OB}}{2} \]

Where:

\(\text{BS}\) is the bust size (inches)
\(\text{UB}\) is the underbust measurement (inches)
\(\text{OB}\) is the overbust measurement (inches)

What is a Bust Size?

Bust size refers to the measurement around the fullest part of a woman’s breasts and around her back. It is typically measured in inches or centimeters and is often used in determining clothing sizes, particularly for bras and other upper body garments. The bust size is not the same as the bra size, which also takes into account the measurement under the bust.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Underbust Measurement (UB) = 32 inches
Overbust Measurement (OB) = 36 inches

Using the formula:

\[ \text{BS} = \frac{32 + 36}{2} = 34 \]

The Bust Size (BS) is 34 inches.
