First of all get yourself into a 28 inch band. we used to add 4-5 inches because bras had no elastic but they do now. Since you have a 5.5 inch difference between under and overbust your starting test bra size should be a 28dd/ or ddd/e (freya, curvy kate, avocado, comexim, british sites make 28 bands, When I went down in my band to my correct size I gained 2 cup sizes of fat that was in my armpit and my underbust dropped 1 from wearing too big of a band and too small of a cup. A sister size is up in band and down 1 cup size or down a band and up a cup size. After a few months in the right bra they will start to perk up that plus a caffeine based cream with a peptide will firm up your skin and add that to some push ups/inclines/butterfly presses where you tire at 10-12 reps (highest weight you can take since that builds muscle). Also hot/cold showers where you switch firms them up after a few months. The biggest part is the right bra; department stores, vs, and all american stores have put us in the wrong bras for far too long. Check out bra stop or miss underpinnings blog for extra fit advice; there are others but they are my favorite. I used these things to firm up after kindey/liver failure resulted in a 73 pound weight gain while not eating food so very unfair; I lost 28 pounds in 4 days and then lost the rest but the 4 day loss caused too much softness. I firmed them up significantly this way but they are not back to perfect by far. A cup size is not definite it is your overbust minus underbust so a woman with a 36 d will have 36 inch underbust, 4 inch projection from underbust, and 40 inches total projection while a women in a 30 ff will have 8 inch projection for 38 inches total but woman a very well may appear to have bigger breasts so just because someone has an f cup does not make their breasts large (avoid letterphobia). Your breasts appear to be bottom heavy (I have one top heavy and one bottom heavy breast oh joy) so look for bras that work for that. Bra stop and miss underpinnings blog, invest in your chest blog, my braadventures blog are all awesome for finding your true size and make sure to remeasure after a few months because you might have extra tissue that will migrate. Bra stop helps spend less money due to this too since women exchange the wrong bra on there all the time since if your underbust is less than 32 inches or over 40 inches american bras do not do the job since its cheaper to produce them in a smaller size range.
