I stopped doing my own bras a long time ago.

I go to a womens wear shop and get professionally fitted.   I see the same young lady every time, and she is just a peach.  She knows about who I am and has no issues at all.   We go to the back and she does her thing.   I haven't had to have them custom yet, but i might someday.

I do the same, ilife in the netherlands and one of the firms is Hunkemuller, get a professinal fitting.
My sizes are  42 B.
