Measuring the usual way puts me in a 40D, which is what I've always worn. Attempting the bending-over-&-measuring thing puts me in a 40G! I am just about to try my hand at making my first bra (Elan 645) & was planning to start with 40D.

I stupidly made my first one after measuring myself while wearing a bra (huge mistake) made up a 34D and it was way too small.
