I've ordered quite a bit of stuff from http://www.figleaves.com/ in the UK. They have an excellent selection, excellent size-search tool, and easy returns. Their stuff tends to be high-end and expensive. I've returned almost everything I've ordered, however. The UK bras seem to have very bullet shaped cups, i.e. made for breasts with a smaller diameter base on the chest wall and greater depth from chest to nipple for equivalent breast volume. That shape just doesn't work for me.
I order sports bras from http://www.roadrunnersports.com/. They have their own brands of many types of activewear that are cheaper than the major name brands and very high quality. They have a basic X-back stretchy sports bra designed for D/DD cups that I have several of.
I've ordered a lot of stuff from http://www.barenecessities.com/. They make it easy to search for specific sizes and carry most of the major brands. My favorite bra of all time is the Vanity Fair "My Satin Fantasy." It comes in a wide variety of sizes and has been on the market for many, many years, but it's always a crapshoot whether Mervyn's or Macy's will have my size in stock, and I got frustrated with wasted trips. If you are like me and have already zeroed in on the make, model and size you like, Bare Necessities is great way to go.
If you do find this local place that does a good job with fitting and possibly does custom work, I'll be interested to hear about it. My girlfriend's breasts are mismatched in size (by a full cup size) and chest placement due to childhood surgeries, in addition to her being extremely petite. She has yet to find a comfortable bra, though going to a 30B (not available in local stores) rather than a 32A after doing the measurement thing was a big improvement.
I've had no luck with fit at Victoria's secret, which was suggested by many people on one of the sites someone else linked.
http://www.plussizebras.org/ has good advice, fitting/measurement instructions, and size reference charts. They don't sell anything.
