Yes, however, they recommend a professional measure. I've had that. The tape measure says (in American) I should be a 40C. It fails to account for the actual volume of the cups, which often are long rather than round and pert. I'm in a 36H. That's a just a slight difference. Sarcasm off. Professional bra fitters are no match for actually trying things on and seeing where the cups are attached on the band and how far apart the straps are spaced. The 40C bra was absolutely horrible and I felt just as bad trying it on as the 'fitter' looked upon seeing it.
I don't think there are any bras out there that can support the weight of H cups. It's a simple engineering problem. Cantilevers are needed, but impracticable for a wearable garment. The only thing I can imagine would work is a custom molded breast plate, but again, not functional.
I've often joked I needed a midget to walk around in front of me and carry the load. Offensive these days, but if I can find an agreeable midget...
