I'm 14 and I think its time for a bra, really. I'm not that flat. the problem is my underbust measurement is too small and I don't think there's a bra with such small band size!
Here are my measurements:

Bust: 28"
Underbust: 24"

My band size would be between 24 or 26 because I've heard that adding 5" to your underbust measurement to get your band size is totally wrong.

What do you think my bra size would be? Where can I buy one with such size?

The best recommendation I could make is to go in and get measured. Most women wear the wrong bra size anyways. If your band size is too small, you can always hem the bra to fit you better.

Dee is right. A professional will be able to help you find the correct bra size better than any of us can.

The lowest for A is 32 and its pretty big.

Hanes or Fruit of the Loom has AA.

Do a quick Google and you'll find that your breast size is a 30B. I used this site: http://www.afraidtoask.com/breast/brasizeform1.html

Then it went on to tell me that a bra, for this size, is not necessary? WTH.

I think there's a general misconception here that the "letter" determines the band size. The letter refer to cup size, and that have something to do with the difference between your bust measurement and your underbust measurement.

Anyway you should get a professional to help you with fitting, since websites aren't really reliable.

omg! I'm def not an AA! My boobs were spilling out when I tried it! And I'm not a 30 band size either. WAY TO BIG! I think I'm a 28B? Cuz I tried 28A and the band was a perfect fit but my boobs were spilling out on top. I'm going shopping again this weekend so I'm gonna try out 28B. Although I've never heard of that size anywhere except on eBay.
