Default Measurement question

Can someone tell me where you are supposed to measure for your chest measurement? Is it above, below, or at the bust?

My trainer has me measure at the bust.

In terms of tracking your progress, it probably doesn't matter that much, so long as you measure in a consistent spot every time.

For clothing (e.g., if you are purchasing a shirt from a catalog or online), you generally measure at the fullest part of the bust.

You measure at the fullest part with your bra on. The under the armpits measurements, and under the bust measurements are for other things. (seamstress wise...)
