Your perimeter vs width ratio - help braboratory out :)
Are you having a wide root or are your boobs deeper? Here's a formula to find out more about that made by MilkAndHoney
1.Measure perimeter just like you do for perimeter on bratabase
2. Measure under the bust along the breast. The horizontal line. Start out where your root starts (on me that's in the middle of my chest) and measure all the way along the body horizontally until you reach the outer side on the root (on me that's where my shoulder blades are). http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/486299_10151296622900540_1384609156_n.jp I have made arrows to show where I start and stop on me since the angle made it blurry (Thanks cake_mimic for telling that). MilkAndHoney actually lined up her root with a pen. I just follow the red marks of my bra band and wires.
You should measure this without a bra and how you manage to take that measurement is your business because it's a little tricky. (I didn't take this measurement without a bra to show you because I couldn't manage leaning over and get the boob away and measure in the 10 seconds my self timer will allow. So pardon me for having measured this in a messy way. But I think you see how to measure at least)
3. Measure your underbust line.
4. Put your numbers in this calculator http://instacalc.com/7453
You will now have a measurent that we can compare to the ratio for a perfect hemisphere.
Disclaimer: This is geometrical and Braboratory terminology not necessarily Bratabase terminology.
Thanks to MilkAndHoney and petalmoon for improving the system during the day.
So now get acrobatic and measure your breast roots

I am intrigued! I'm not sure I quite get it, though.
From what I'm understanding, you measured from the center of your chest to under your arm, but the measurement with which you made the ratio was from from underarm to underarm- which is the measurement to use? It seems to me that underarm-to-underarm wouldn't be as helpful for people with wide-set breasts (but mine very nearly meet in the middle, so that's not a problem here.) Or would it be better to measure chest-to-underarm and then double that measurement, so that the space between your breasts isn't included in the root measurement?
I've got a 2.357 for my underarm-to-underarm measurement and a 4.75 for a chest-to-underarm measurement.
I don't know what this means! So confused :(
@cake_mimic: Oh, sorry, I blame the angle for the self timer photo. I'm stopping at the root in my middle. So not measuring any further. I will alter the photo and put up arrows on it to show where to measure :)
Edit: So now arrows up and new link to how to measure. Thanks @cake_mimic :)
