Have you been to /r/abrathatfits?

Yes! There's a company on Etsy called The Little Bra Company that's talked about on ABTF, I'd suggest starting there.

What would you consider 'that thin' in actual sizing? I wear a 26GG/H and a lot of girls/models would surely be that size in the UB, I measure 24.5in under. 26F? FF?

Also as /u/NotNaturallyOccuring said, you and a friend could learn the ABTF measuring and fitting tips and go shopping together. I have 2 friends that would rarely allow themselves to be seen in a bra by a trained associate, but myself as a self-trained (way better for under 32 bands, over 34 my skills are sketchy) person and trusted friend they feel far more comfortable. I can point out 'this bra is too small in the cup' 'this bra is too large in the band' and save them some embarrassment so they only need to be seen by associates to double check a seemingly fitting bra. I've had some awful fitters, most recently mashing my 26GGs into 30DDs and saying 'It looks perfect, it is okay to have some tissue around the sides and under the wire, and the gore doesn't tack all the time'. Not the mention the band riding 2 inches while on the tightest hook. I left. If you learn what basic ill fitting signs are you can avoid buying really visibly ill fitting bras which otherwise you could be encouraged into.

I also own an even number of shoes.
