Ladies, and Gents for your ladies, pay attention.
1. The number in the bra size is the measurement around your rib cage. ie, 28, 34, 38...
2. The letter in the bra size is the size of the boob cup. The cup size changes with the rib cage size, so the cup on a 34C is equivalent to the cup of a 36B.
If the cup fit you before, and you go down a ribcage size, go up a cup size. ie, 32C --> 30D
If the cup fit you before, and you go up a ribcage size, go down a cup size. ie, 36C --> 38B
3. The back of the bra should go straight across your back. If it is being pulled up on an angle it is too big for you. Get a smaller rib cage size. ie, if you are normally 34, get a 32
4. The bra should fit at the loosest clasp when it is new, so that as the fabric stretches out it, you can continue to adjust it to fit you. If it does not, get a smaller rib cage size.
5. If your bra has underwire the metal part that curves up between your breasts should be resting against your ribcage. If it is gapping, you need a bigger cup size. ie, 30C-->30D
6. Your breasts should fit neatly in the cups. If your boobs are spilling over slightly like a muffin topping (even if it's doing it by the end of the day, and wasn't when you first put the bra on) get a bigger cup size. ie, 34E -->34F
If the cloth is gapping, get a smaller cup size. ie, 38B-->38A
7. A lot of ladies have one breast that is slightly bigger. Your bra should be able to accommodate your fuller size while meeting all of the requirements above.
If your size is not one that is made in the usual one-size-doesn't-fit-everybody it can be a real pain in the ass to find bras that fit you. But they exist! Look your size up on the internet, or go to a fancy bra store. To have a bra that fits is totally worth it, it is HEAVEN.

a good bra store will fit you, too, which is an adventure. Make sure you get somebody who knows what they're doing, though - I was fitted the first time by some little chica in a mall and it was all wrong.
