I am not big up top by no means. Average I guess. I wear a size 4-6 in my shirts. I cannot wear anything low cut because I am not big enough. For some reason, I cannot find a bra to fit. I am modest so I don't want to go to a bra sizing. When measuring myself I thought I was a 34B. The 34 B fits good in the cup but on the loosest it seems to cut into my back. You can see the rippling from it cutting into my back. If the bra is new it feels so tight at first I am uncomfortable. I decided to go up to a 36 since there is no in between. When I tried the bras on, the A cup seemed to small so did the nearly B. The B cup seemed to fit the best. After I wore it for a day, the cup kind of got a wrinkle at the bottom like I did not fill the cup all the way. Two of them are doing this. Like I said, the A was too small squeezing me out from the sides. My question is what size bra do I buy. These bras felt comfortable and I though looked good when I tried them on.

Go get professionally sized at Nordstroms JCPenney or Sears (NOT Victoria Secret, they size incorrectly)...

This article is very informative, it gives you all theins and outs of how you can properly find the correct fitting bra http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/333295/are_you_wearing_the_wrong_sized_bra.html?page=2
And this link is an online calculator, you just in put your measurements and it tells you your size : http://www.newarabia.net/bra_calculator_bra_help.php
and it also has some good information on propper bra fitting.
My personal advise, don't go into a specailty store, they didnt go to any speacils school to learn how to fit you, rather they just measure you ad do the math, find a 65 dollar bra and sell you on it. Trust me for 65 dollars it better fot perfect! LOL They are primarily there to sell you a product, you can measure yoursel and try onbras at any other store until you get a cute well fitting bra!
I hope this helps, I know, finding the right bra for me has been HARD! But once youknow your true measurements you become aware of your size, its a good feeling

bras are all different, it all depends on the brand of the bra as well. some bras i wear a 34 some a 36. some bras i wear a b some i wear an a. find a brand that you find works for you in size, and stick to that brand only, from there you should be able to find one size that works for you. try joe boxer thats what i use, and found one size thats perfect for me. good luck.

I've heard good things about the fitters at Nordstroms, and I would strongly advise against going to Victorias Secret - their fitters and are very poorly trained and customer service is terrible!
I have a bra fitting guide on my corsetry website too: http://www.belladonnaeyes.co.uk/bra_fitting_part_01.htm
I hope this helps.
