Helping a friend... bra question

Medicechic

I am trying to help a friend shop for a new bra now. I helped her measure herself to get a good starting point. I got 34 underbust, and 41 overbust... 43 if she leaned forward like some things say to do... So that would make the cup size 7-9 inches bigger than band size right? So in US sizing, that would be a 34DDDD/G-34I? Any suggestions on what size to start with? If it helps any, she's had implants and then had 2 kids, so her breasts have gotten bigger. Last baby is 9 months old now and she wasn't able to breastfeed, so that shouldn't be a consideration.

Start off trying 34G, GG, and H.

Ooh, tough one. Wish I could help, but I tried to import her sizing details on two different bra size calculators and they came up with two vastly different sizes. The best solution would probably be to go to a good bra fitter (I believe that Nordstrom’s is the best place to go for a fitting). But, my goodness, isn't she profoundly blessed in that department - wow!

She should go to a lingerie shop and start trying bras on until she finds the right one. I don't believe in 'bra fitting'. I like it for a start, but honestly, it's never worked with me, and I've done three fittings already, at three different shops. I once tried one on the internet and they told me I was a 34B (I certainly look like one). I'm not going to tell my size here, but it's a 28 band with pretty big cups...

This calculator could be a starting point, but she will need to try on lots of bras:
