Smart & Sexy Women's Perfect Push-Up Bra - Comfortable Lift & Support for Everyday Wear, Workout, and Special Occasions

I'm almost a cup size up from 34DDD - which makes finding bras that fit a nightmare as there is no agreement as to what a cup size up from DDD is - is it an F? a G? is there DDDD? Who knows... because it also depends on the country you are in, and the country of origin of the bra. So, I ordered a 36DDD - sister sizing should allow me to go a body size up and a cup size down. It generally means I'm on the tightest hook, but the girls more or less fit snug, maybe with a little gap near the strap on the front at the top of the cup. Not so with this one.I got a 36DDD, and the body size was a bit loose. The cups are larger - considerably so - compared to my other 36DDD's from other brands that have the same cut/style. I had a relative who is bigger than me give it a shot - 38DD should be able to fit with the whole sister-sizing in mind. The cups dwarfed her and her other bras. I waited too long to return them, so I'll be donating it.The good - well constructed. The seams are great, the material isn't pulled too tight, and the material will not shrink. The cups are the molded foam type, and there's a goo amount of cushion to give a pushup effect. The padding/fabric around the underwires is very soft and durable. This bra, in the right size would be perfect. I don't know if I just got a weird one, but judging on the reviews, it seems that they do run large. It's not a matter of me not being used to this style bra - the bra style usually works for me. The cups are just really freaking big.I worked for a national women's apparel chain - I was a professional bra-sizer. I know how to measure people as well as look at their body type to help them find the right bra. It got to the point where I could just look at someone and know their size and the best style/cut for them. This *looks* like the right bra style, but the sizing is really off. I am thinking about trying out a 34D in this specific brand to see that will work. The quality and workmanship is excellent, the sizing is off.
