Holding up your boobs is crazy important.
Go take your shirt off, look at your bra in the mirror, then look at this image and compare.
If your bra is not sitting on your body like this image, you are wearing the wrong bra size, and hurting your poor back and boobies every day!

The "lift and squish" look, while sexy, is not the right support, and outside of sexy-bedroom-time is hurting you, a lot, by pulling on your back and pushing breast tissue into your armpits!
Ideally, you should not even feel your bra when it's on and fitted right. You say, "Anna you so crazy! I have boulders; I'm going to feel it!" I have proper bras and epic boobs, and I can promise you, I do not feel mine.
Please, please, I beseech you on behalf of boobies everywhere, the more of us who start getting correct bras, the more available they will be, and competition may drive prices down!
I came across this video with a wonderful young lady who handles bra-fit perfectly! I figured going with someone independent may encourage you ladies, since there's no way she's trying to sell you anything but truth. She starts of with some good explanations why current techniques are wrong, and at about 6 minutes in she gets to proper measuring for fit.
If you're intimidated by all the complications with bra sizing, check out this neat website resource.
Scroll down a bit for a short quiz, which helps determine how "off" your size is, and based on your input, will calculate a more correct size to start with.

If even that is too involved, I have the most basic of basic methods here for you. You'll need to get naked, and in front of a mirror. Make sure to take a moment to admire yo' sexy self before continuing.
The difference between your final Band and Bust measurements is your cup size. I have here a conversion from number to cup for UK sizes because they are more precise, and generally the same across brands. I like Panache, Freya, and Elomi best.
