I am about 5'8 and while I'm not super overweight, I'm not hitting the exercise routine every day like I used to. I could stand to drop about 20 lbs. I normally wear size 12 pants and sometimes a 14 depending on the style and fit. Most of my shirts are L or XL depending on the stretch and cut. I am naturally busty. My best bra size if the brand goes up to bigger cup sizes with smaller bands is a 36F. If I can't find that sizing, I can get away with a 36DDD or 38DD. If the shirt or dress doesn't have any stretch in it, or if there are buttons involved (God, buttons!), I need a 14 dress so my boobs don't don't look like I'm stuffing them in a sausage casing. :) For those who fit this kind of profile, I hope this helps.
