Under my breasts measures 26 inches, over the fullest part measures 35 inches, and above them but under my armpits measures 30. I'm doing it properly like it says and not wearing a bra when I measure...what size is this? And where can I find an affordable one in my proper size? Honest answers only, please.

32D is what I'm wearing now, but even brand new I close them on the smallest hooks and the back band is too loose. The cups usually don't cover everything. My problem is I have the fullness, I just don't have the depth, so I get the spillage at the sides and it feels uncomfortable. I also have short shoulder, so sometimes the straps tightened to the smallest length are too big. I have Victoria's Secret bras in 32D but they offer minimal coverage, the back band is large and so are the shoulder straps. :-(

Even when I wear a bra, I still get the same measurements. 35 inches across my boobs. Is it that odd of a size?

You are mostly likely a 30DD. I think a 32D is going too big on the band and too small on the cup size. HTH : )

I completely understand your problem. I also had trouble measuring my bra size correctly. The standard measurement charts don't work for everyone. Your best bet is to go to a department store bra department or specialty bra store. Most major stores have sales associates that will measure your size for a bra. It is a bit hard to measure yourself properly. If you find that you are wearing a size that is not commonly carried in the store, there are tons of online stores that carry more unique sizes. Read more about this subject in the resource I have provided below. There is a bit more information on determining your size too.

You must wear a bra while taking measurements. Wear the one you feel fits you best and take measurements again.
OK, since the band is loose, better try a 30. I think that will work. And go for a full figure/full coverage style bra. The bra style is as important as the sizing. You can check out this site.

Or better still, go to the shop and try out different styles.

The smallest "around" size I've ever seen for a bra would be a 28. They may come smaller, but I think those would be training bras, not real ones. If you have ten inches difference between your fullest area and your "around" measurement, then you really do need a real bra. My suggestion to you is to go to somewhere that will fit you for a bra, because if you are getting that much difference, I think you may be measuring wrong.
JCPenneys, Victoria's secret, Dillards, Macy's, and most high end dept stores are all going to have someone in their lingerie dept that will help measure you, make sure you are taking the measurements right, and help you find a bra that meets what you need. If you really are a 26 F, then you are probably going to need to order that, because it's an unusual size. You are going to need wide comfortable straps, wide back, and to make sure it's going to be comfortable and supportive.

Go to victoria secret. They'll measure you for free if you ask them. Just pretend like your interested then walk out saying you have to go get your boyfriend or something then go to kohls or jc pennys or value city or something and get some bras from there b/c Victoria secret is way too expensive for very little clothing. Although their perfumes and lotions are nice, but not spending $40 for a bra. you can get 5 bras with that much money.

I thoroughly comprehend your problem. I also had difficulty measuring my bra length wisely. the popular length charts do not artwork for all and dissimilar. Your purely right wager is to bypass to a branch save bra branch or forte bra save. maximum significant shops have sales friends which will degree your length for a bra. it truly is type of demanding to degree your self right. in case you locate that you're wearing a length which could no longer regularly carried contained in the save, there are various of on-line shops that carry extra unique sizes. study extra about this challenge contained in the source I somewhat have presented decrease than. there's somewhat extra suggestion on determining your length too.

You should also go to Victoria's Secret - they'll do a sizing for free while you're there (and don't be embarrased, they do 20 a day). And while they may not be the most affordable, you'll at least get a good sizing.
If your mall has an H&M, look there. They have lots of really inexpensive things, but they're better than Wal-Mart. Look at Target, too, and JC Penney's, Macy's...any mall department store.
EDIT: And I'm pretty sure you're a 32D, by the way.

Go to a store and get them to figure it out for you....they can figure out what you are, measure you and get you a decent bra that'll fit without spillage.....department stores, the bra section,. usually has people that are allowed to do this (they can do it over a tshirt etc!) or go to a proper shop.
