Bra intervention help please

So been reading plenty of threads and would like your help.
I am obviously in the wrong size, all the tell tell signs. I measured the prescribed way, under bust 31", full bust lent over 37" or 38".
So this is a 30e?

I am top heavy wide set, I think, as I have more boob type flesh towards the armpit iykwim.

So what size and style do you recommend? I am limited to good bra shops/department stores in my area so will be relying on internet and can't afford to be ordering lots of bras at one time to try and return.

Morning!

Start by trying 30F/FF and 32E/F and work from there.

Top heavy means you need a bra which is quite open at the top - bras which close in again over the breast can be problematic as they cause quad boob even when they fit elsewhere. Wide boobs you will probably get on better with Freya/Fantasie or Curvy Kate although I wouldn't rule out some Cleo bras either.

A bit late but thank you, hopefully I can get to a department store this weekend, if not a big online order with lots of returns is on the cards

Try the Freya Patsy half cup or Fantasie Salsa if your boobs are wide set. You'll probably need to round down to 30 as they are quite generous in the band.
