It's expensive, but the Shoshanna line of clothing is made for women who are skinny and have a larger cup size.
Some tips:
-When buying bathing suits, some stores will allow you to mix the tops and bottoms. So you can get a larger size for your top and a smaller size for your bottom. I know that Victoria's Secret allows you to do this.
-Try to avoid shirts that have a seam under the breast. It barely ever hits at the right place. Hollister and Abercrombie are two stores that sell a lot of shirts with this seam.
-Also, try to avoid shirts with horizontal stripes going across your chest.
-You could try buying clothing and getting it altered to fit your waist. I know it's a pain, but it may be worth it to get clothing that you really like. :(

Most clothing for teenagers is designed in "Junior" sizing, which are the odd numbered sizes: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc. Junior sized clothing is designed for a smaller figure with less curves.
"Misses" sizing runs in even numbered sizes: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. They are designed for women with more curves and fuller bodies. One of the results of that is that they are generally cut fuller in the bust area.
If you wear, say, a size 7, try going to a store that sells in Misses sizing for your tops--you can try both a 6 and an 8, and that will probably fix your problem.
To make things even more confusing, some stores simply use the XS-XL label on their clothing. In those stores, you will need to find a size chart. Measure your bust at its fullest part with a good, supportive bra on, and then use that measurement when looking at the sizing charts. Unfortunately, you may find that clothing which fits your bust is a little too big in the stomach and hip area, and you may end up having to have clothing altered.
Try to find stores that offer the "misses" sizing system, as those clothes will be cut fuller, and are designed to have a few extra inches in the bust, and also in the hips and thighs in bottoms.
Oh! One more thing, and this is really important. DON'T worry about the number or size on the tag. I know that in our weight-obsessed society, people place a lot of emphasis on what the size on the tag is. That is probably the least important part of buying clothing. Sizing varies widely from manufacturer to manufacturer, so those numbers are really only a general sort of guide to help you pick out what is most likely to fit once you get to the dressing room. Don't say to yourself, "Well, I refuse to wear a size 8, so I have to cram myself into the size 6, even if it is uncomfortable." Clothing that doesn't fit properly is not only uncomfortable to wear, it looks awful, too. So don't worry about numbers, focus instead on fit.
Good luck!

When you find out let me know. I wear a large for the waist but I need a XXL just for the top! It makes all the arms and shoulders fit funny. I hate them :(

I am the same way. You will probably need to give up getting any matched sets. You will have to buy separates.
I know how hard this is. I am there too.
