I'm not sure, but I saw that M&S have specialist bra fitters and thought "There's the job for me"

Measuring your bra size
60%–80% of women wear the wrong bra size… Weight loss, weight gain and pregnancy are some of the factors that can change your breast size and shape—so it may be time to remeasure to ensure you get the best fit.
When taking your measurements, wear a lingerie bra that fits you well.
1. Measure very snugly around your rib cage, just underneath your breasts. It should feel tight. Be sure that the tape measure lies straight all the way around.
Add 5" to your rib cage measurement, then round to the nearest even number. The result is your bra size or band measurement.
2. Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure straight all the way around your body. Round this measurement to the nearest whole number.
3. Subtract your bra size (band measurement) in step 1 from the bust measurement in step 2.
The difference between the two determines your cup size. It can be difficult to measure yourself, the process itself is not an exact science. If you have trouble and think you are not getting your correct size, get professionally fitted.

Bra size can vary greatly between manufacturers, so there really isn't a hard and fast answer for this one, if what you're looking for is a constant size that will be the same in all manufacturers. To find out what size you are in a particular brand of bra, grab a couple (in both varying cup sizes and varying numbers), and try them on. If they are the right size, they should fit comfortably when fastened using the middle hook.

You measure just under the Breasts for your Chest size, I.E 32",34", 36", then measure across your breasts each inch difference is a cup size./

go to the bra shop, try from a cup to larger cup..
and compare which is the more comfortable, and the one will be becoming to yours.

from the back to the front, go into a good department store and ask one of the ladies there to measure for you.

honestly get a proper fitting at m&s or similar. you dont have to buy anything and it is well worth it. You will notice a massive difference in the way your boobs look (better) and feel so much more comfortable.

use a cloth measuring tape. put it around your back, just under your breasts. don't pull real tight , just tight enough to feel tight.

I'm sure if you asked on here, you wouldn't need to do it yourself as you'd get lots of volunteers!
