What exactly do you measure when someone wants to know your measurements?

I don't know what I'm supposed to be measuring. Its confusing to me.

So I measure my bust size at the fullest part of my breasts, wrapping the tape measure underneath my armpits. I measure my at what looks to me is my natural waistline, above the bellybutton but below the bottom of my ribcage. I measure my hips where they are the widest. I don't know if that works for every woman, but that is the way I do it.

I'm assuming you're talking about body measurements. You measure your bust, waist, and hips. You measure your bust and hips at their widest point, and your waist at its smallest point. Like this:
