Oh my goodness.... I'm waiting on 2 bras to arrive and hoping they help me determine how those brands & shapes might fit me and give me a jumping off point and I still can't.stop.stalking eBay, Amazon, and the listings on here. And I'm not even brand-new to the world of Proper Bra Sizing, I've known for a long time I wasn't in the right size but haven't had the funding to pursue a wardrobe of correctly sized bras. Still can't at full price, but I feel this will be an expensive journey. I'm already 4 bras in and only 2 that fit and one of them isn't a perfect fit so really, I only have 1. My patience for the mail is so short. I hope the mailman is prepared for an ambush Friday and Saturday.
Off topic - my measurements (which I've triple checked now) and the bras Bratabase recommends do not line up, at all, with what has fit me best. Depending on where I stop on my ribcage on the perimeter measurement (I'm not sure where to stop) I come up with 10-12." But my 2 best fitting bras have cup depths of 8-9." Seriously, I know they fit, any larger and I'd be gapping. This method makes perfectly logical sense in my head, so what gives...

Ambush the postman you say? Keep in mind they have pepper spray and they aren't afraid to use it. ;)
Have you considered applying for credit cards? In the interest of budget needs, as in your budget needs you to buy more bras with it - and because more is always the answer!
;)
are you doing all 3 measurements? For me (tho its been a year), Horizontal is 16 inches, Vertical is 15 and laying is 14, and I need 13.5 to 14. But I think its because my boobs are SO VERY saggy . . .I dont want them all stretched out like that, I want them bunched up in to a rounder shape. Plus, low-cut bras dont cover your whole breast, so the depth would be slightly lower for plunges, I think?
