Method of calculating other body measurements from chest measurements


Using chest measurements we can calculate other upper body measurements.This is for standard body measurements.But to get good measurement it is good to take measurement of each part.
Neck= ⅓ chest + 2½"
Waist =chest -5 to 7 "
Seat = Chest + 2 to 4"
Across chest  = ⅛ th chest + 2¼"
Half back =⅙ th chest + 1"
Half shoulder =⅙ th chest 1½ to 2"
Upper arm or biceps =  ¼ chest + 2 to 2½"
Scye depth =⅛ th chest +  2 to 2½"

1/2 shoulder and 1/2 back are not clear since we see a square before the chest in both kindly check

1/2 shoulder and 1/2 back is 1/6th chest. For me also yesterday it was looking like a rectangle.This morning when I tried to correct it is 1/6.Any way I added th next to 1/6.I think it might be server problem.
