I started looking online when I got to a point where no bras in stores fit me anymore and I could no longer lie to myself that the quadboobs were cleavage. I know this problem exists for almost everyone except maybe those living in "bra heaven" (aka UK), but none of my friends seem to realise there's any problem with ... the pathetic bra selections we have in the stores.
I live in a part of the world where many girls are positively tiny. Yet retailers seem to think that 32 bands are perfectly alright. Sometimes they only bring in bras in B cups. The "one size fits all" approach in Asia is absolutely ridiculous. Most of our clothings have no sizes. They're "free size". Some shops even tell you their jeans are "free size". I once asked for a 32C bra (when I thought I was that size), and got sister-sized to a 36A?! Shop assistants give me strange looks and tell me nothing bigger than C cups were available, or yes, they have D cups but they only start at 34 backs, which they think should fit me, then hand me some ugly beige thing.
So I was in Marks and Spencer, the only place that seems know that bras go beyond B or C cups, trying on their 32Ds and quadboobing. I asked for bigger cups, and got introduced to this 32DD contraption that was so stiff it could take someone's eye out if I swung it around. It also cost 70 bucks.
I gave up looking for bras in any stores after that and went online. That's when I realised that bras in bigger cup sizes can look gorgeous and not like granny bras. I ordered several sizes from an online store. They were all wrong, but the customer service was so sweet and helpful with the exchange. It took some weeks, but today I got my first ever bra that fits - the Curvy Kate Emily in 28F. I can't tell you how excited I feel right now.
Yea, that's my "brapiphany" in a nutshell. It feels awesome!

I'm compairing your bras with mine to be able to give you a number that is likely to work. What have you concluded on 36ff Jasmine?
Because for pl I have to go two cups up from my jasmine size - 30j->30k. Chp's run larger so just one cup up is fine. I have no CH or S experience.
I think the Jasmine is a pretty good fit. Its just taking me getting used to the really pulled in up frontness of it, as I'm not used to that.The one I was looking at in particular was a CHP.. do you know what the bands are like on those styles?
