"Cup size" is the most common when you're talking about bras or breasts. It's measured with letters (A-cup, B-cup, C-cup) etc. "Bust measurement" is used when making custom clothing, such as dresses. In America, it's measured in inches.

@studiousboy For women, a bust measurment and a chest measurement are the same thing.
The main difference is that men get chest measurements, but you would never use "bust" to refer to a man.

@studiousboy You might hear "bra size" at a lingerie store. But yes, the others are not very common.
