This bra is a little miracle. My mum bought it for herself as I finally decided I want a band size of 32, but when this bra arrived, it was too tight for mum to wear, but exactly made for me. The upper part of the cup has been lined with a ribbon, but this made the cup too narrow for me at the top, so I took it out and now it's a fantastic bra. Also the band is very tight for a 34 at the bottom, but is looser at the top, which suits my shape well (tiny waist, broad shoulders). It provides terrific support, and ... I easily forgive it making my bust a little smaller. The only real negative is it's full coverage, which I don't like visually and doesen't go with low cut clothing. But the lace is really nice and barely shows under even light clothes. I did a bad color choice with it (taupe), so it will never be a dating-bra despite the nice lace.
Edit: Now I feel much less warmly to this bra. The band has stretched, and with other well fitting bras I've got now, it seems just wrong. Wide underwire, weird shape, weird look.... Now I've got better.

Well that sounds terrible! Hope you find a better fitting bra.
Welcome to bratabase! Check out the measuring guide we have here and acquaint yourself with it. The more you know the better you understand how a bra should fit you. And the more comfortable you will become with measuring your own bras for the amazing database we have here.
Make sure you double check your bra size, 85% of women are wearing an ill fitting size.
Generally speaking your underbust/rib measurement is equal to your band size (so if you measure 36 inches you wear a 36 band), then you measure around the fullest part of the bust and subtract the rib measurement. This gets your cup size. There are cups larger than DDD and bands smaller than 32 and a DDD is not neccessarily a huge cup size. I wear a 28DD and am close to flat chested!
