Measurement issues

Can someone explain to me how to correctly measure a stretched band? I mean, I know what it says in the measurement section, but something doesn't make sense.
There is this line: "Measure the the maximum length of the stretched band of your bra." But then it also says not to distort the wires. It is impossible to stretch the band to the MAXIMUM length without stretching the wires. I put down whatever measurement it is when I see the wires starting to stretch. But for some of my bras, I get emails saying I need to verify the measurements-- specifically the stretched measurement, it's always too short.
So what am I supposed to do? Stretch the band so that the wires distort, but it satisfies the system, or measure it until it starts to stretch ,and then get an email saying I need to verify? 😒
I actually prefer not to put in this measurement for this very reason, but I feel that putting it in can help people.
