Default Why I think BSL is a bad term....

We have ear, chin, shoulder, collar bone, APL, BSL, mid back, waist, hip, knee, floor....
All these lengths with the exception of BSL are measured by a specific point on your body.
Bras can be ill fitting, improperly worn, or just fit differently than the next. On lady's bra might fit higher or lower than another.
I think a more accurate term would be beneath shoulder blade... that peak at the bottom of your shoulder blade is where your bra should fit, but not everybody's bra hits that place.
This is just my personal opinion but I'm not going to use the term BSL anymore because it's misleading and has a high likelihood to be innacurrate. Instead I'm thinking about saying BSB = below shoulder blade/bottom of shoulder blade

Thanks

all the lengths are subjective if you think about it. are you collarbone length the moment your hair touches your collarbones, or after it covers them?

Touching your collar bone and covering them is less than an inch of hair... your brastrap can vary on a person 2-3 inches or more.

IDK.......I think if you are just touching, just put JT in front of whatever length. We are not going to get everyone to agree on which is which.

That's a good idea. That's why I say I'm grazing bs because I'm bs in one bra and I'm not in others. So GBS for me Great Idea Caramela

ETA: If, that's the case I'm BSB now. Thanks! Caramela. Next Stop MBL

I agree. I'll skip the term altogether and reference MBL when appropriate.
