For side to side (width):
1 - Measure yourself with a measuring tape. Side to side either from the inside of one of your breasts to the outside of it across the fullest part or just below your nipple. or from the outside in where the everything meets.
or
2 - find one of your most comfortable bra's and measure just the cup area across the same way as I said before.
For top to bottom (height):
measure from the underside of your breast straight up over the middle/nipple and to where your upper chest and breast become smooth/level with one another.
For example my Girlfriend and her daughter are the same exact size in the bust area. the total height of their chosen measurement is 7 and 1/2 inches or 19cm and the measurement from side to side is 9 inches or roughly 23cm
you can modify things to fit you how you want which is the beauty of making your own clothing. We are all members of the Society for Creative Anachronism which does a lot of the medieval recreation of clothing so we got lots of measurements and some fun times making garb.
