Abstract: A measuring device (10) having two measuring tapes (14, 20) held on separate reels (26, 30) in a housing (12). The housing (12) has two windows (32, 34) for displaying measurement indicia appearing on each tape. The tapes (14, 20) are spring biased toward a fully wound condition. Each tape has a button controlled clutch (28, 44) locking each respective tape in an extended condition. A user draws a first tape (14) around her torso just below the breasts, connects the tape to the end of the second tape (20) at the housing (12), and locks the tape in place. The device is then moved upwardly, now encircling the breasts, and the second tape (20) is extended to accommodate the additional girth and locked in place. The device is then removed and sizes are displayed in the windows (32, 34). The first tape (14) measures and indicates the rib cage girth, and the second tape (20) converts the additional measurement to cup size.
