I noticed yesterday that my bra was pinching me a little—at the band, the cups are still depressingly well-fitting—so I went into M&S in my lunch time to look for a bigger size. Now, the cup size is proportional to the difference between the ribs and the breasts, not an absolute, so to get the same size cups as a 36A with a 38 band, it would have to be 38AA.
They don't make 38AA bras. In fact, there were only about two 38As in the shop, and they were black push-up ones, and were a little big in the cups anyway. If they make 34Ds, why on earth can't they make 38As??
I refuse to go into trainer bras at the age of 22, even if they do make them in 38AA and not just 26-32. I shall form the hypothesis that the band of my 36A has shrunk in the wash.
Now I must go and shower, and I really must work on my Vorkosiverse ficathon entry...

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.

"Your breasts feel so weird."
"Oh - that's because they're real."
Wish I could say I have a larger cup size after my three kids, but, no....I'm the incredible shrinking woman in that department; these days I'm lucky if I can fill out an A cup at all. In fact, don't even get me started on bras; I'll never stop. The cups don't seem to be the wrong size, so much as the wrong *shape* - See, here I go. Stopping! Stopping! :)
