Somebody else who has the same problem!!! I once went into a lingerie shop when I was visiting Los Angeles (I mean, surely, if there's a city that has everything, you'd think that would be it) and asked if they had any bras in 38 A and they looked at me disbelievingly and then laughed. Gee, thanks, girls.

Now that I have three kids I have a larger cup size, but I've found I'm no longer comfortable in a 38 anything, and the last time I tried on a bra that came close to fitting properly it was a 42 C. The cups sag depressingly, but nobody makes a 42 B, of course.

This is extra sad considering that I am 5'7" and weigh 140. I just have an enormous rib cage, apparently (though nobody who knows me believes that this could be the case -- I don't look big-boned either).

There is a woman locally who measures and makes custom bras. I'm sure they cost at least $100, but I'm not sure it might not be worth it in the end.
