Chest width

Korean names: 가슴단면 · 가슴 단면

The width just below the armholes, measured with the garment laid flat

What does it mean?

This is the width measured horizontally across the chest area of the front of the top. It is a different value from the chest circumference of the body or the overall circumference of clothing.

Remember to differentiate

The garment circumference is roughly twice the flat width, but the actual ease depends on stretch and cut.
