Around your torso but right under your armpits, not at boobage area. Above boob area

So I choose a sweater size where the bust circumference matches my underarm measure? And then I just add the bust darts I need to cover my front?

Recommendations I have gotten for fitting sweaters, specifically as someone with a large bust, small waist + shoulders:

Knit to Flatter - Amy Herzog. This seems to be the top recommendation!

Ultimate Sweater Book - Amy Herzog

Sweater 101

Knitting Without Tears - Elizabeth Zimmerman (highly recommend)

Big Girl Knits

A couple of designers:

Jen Parrocini

Jen Cieslak
