Different manufacturers do seem to be as incapable of actually making
a 36B the same size as each other as they are of agreeing on a size

Are you allowed to try them on? I know that manyshops are very funny
about people trying on 'intimate' clothes. If not I can see why it's
difficult to get the right size and, of course, the right shape.
