cup width?!?!
Is there a way to measure what cup width you need? Or is it more of a try bras and figure it out from there?

There actually is--I saw it mentioned on a bra-making thread at one point--but I believe the "proper" way involves at least one piece of specialist equipment. There is probably a DIY method. I'm going to try and find the place where I saw it mentioned and copy/paste the relevant text here.
Ummmm OK so I found the one I was thinking of, it is behind a paywall unfortunately I think... it's on the Foundations Revealed site. I don't want to copy a whole long passage verbatim as I might be accused of screwing over the site or the author, but basically they suggest the use of something called a Flexi Curve (which looks in the photos like just a long, noodly-shaped flexible ruler) and molding it round your breast root. You can then use that to trace your root shape on paper and measure anything you want to measure.
Does that help? Bra-making peeps can probably shed more light on this.
