Women tend to have glandular development, which leads to firmer breasts than overweight men and women who were born as men. When your breasts are all cellulite, each cup size that should fit will compress you down to a smaller size. If you won't be using prostheses, try a Genie bra. You'll still have to find your band size, but the cup size will be all but irrelevant. If you want prostheses, try getting fitted for a mastectomy bra.
