Now I know better, and I also noticed that my breast shape has gotten better.
As for La Senza I must say that the cups are smaller than standard (so I take a bigger size than normally). Also, you need to watch whether the model has narrow or wide underwires.

A good way of buying quality bras in “unusual sizes” (read: sizes other than 75-85 and A-D), and for a very cheap price is British Ebay.

You can take a look at this little guide:

I never really cared about it until my boyfriend kept insisting that I get fitted. What a laugh, I found out I was a 30DD or a 28E! This really sucks because hardly anyone goes down to a 30 and the bigger cup sizes other than Bravissimo, but M&S just started doing them. Fabulous for sales.

You should post a picture of you boobing around in your bra so we can all see your shirt potatoes.
