Armpit | Midback

okay, i posted something similar on the old LHC, so here we go again!

Im back to 22" after cutting in a blunt hem and equaling up my longest layer, just one layer in the back to go! I will probably even things up again, once it has caught up.

BSL for me is 27" (bottom of strap) so come on, post here with all your frustrations and milestones.

We will all get there!

Mod Note:
Mid Back Length (MBL)=Bra Strap Length (BSL) and is used as a more inclusive term. If you do not wear a bra, you can locate MBL by wrapping a towel, measuring tape, etc around your torso just below your pectoral muscles/above your diaphragm (which ever is easier to identify), this will show you where MBL lands on your back.

Hmm .. I measure BSL as the bottom of my shoulder blades, or 23", because I'm impatient and if I measured to the bottom of my strap I'd probably get fed up at not reaching a goal in so long that I'd cut. My longest layer is now at 23", so I'm at 'can-I-call-this-BSL', but I won't really feel like I'm at BSL until it's at least an inch or two longer.

BSL is about an inch below the shoulderblades for me.

I will join in here. As I am at APL on my way to BSL.

I looks like it to me because I am 5'4" and have 30 inches of length with someone else measuring from forehead hairline to end of hair. Which means that you should be hip length in about I years at 6 inches per year.

I'm not on this group yet but hope to be this year at some point. I was just wondering if bsl was classed at top of bra strap or bottom of bra strap?

BSL is about 27 inches for me. Since I'm starting over again I've decided not to measure because it can be discouraging if I hit a no grow month. I'm going by milestones. BSL is my main goal.
