What bra size am I?

I've put the measurements into several different calculators and have had different results.

When I wear my size 12D push-up bra, it is comfortable, but when I I wear my size 12D T-shirt bra, my breasts are literally bulging over and just about out.

So here are my measurements and if someone could get back to me with a serious answer, that would be great.

Underbust: 88 cm

Bust Measurement: 103 cm

I've also put on a little weight recently and am now a size 12 in shirts. I'm not sure if that is a factor, but just thought I'd add it.

Thank you.

Update:

An example of different size answers is one from Berlei Australia and that says I'm 40A and another saying I'm DDD... I didn't even know these sizes existed.

    Okay, those size charts you find online are complete and utter bullshit. They don't take into account breast shape, shoulder width and ribcage, all of which are important when sizing for a bra.

    They say I'm a 20A in Aussie sizes, I wear that size and it falls off my shoulders and offers less support than going bra free and is incredibly uncomfortable! I actually wear a 14F in most brands. However this also changes from brand to brand, I'm borderline E-F in Triumph, E in Hot Milk and Cake, G in another brand I tried (can't remember but the FF was too small and I really wanted that bra!)

    You're best bet is to actually try them on before you buy them, even then this can be problematic as my breasts shift shape with the time of month and time of day. I've purchased a couple that were really good fits in the shop but after getting them home the cups turned out to be too small!
