In addition to the advice about finding a place where someone can actually fit you, my approach has always been to go to a store with a large stock of bras... Kohl's has been my go to store for the last few years. Try on a bunch until I find a style and size that fits me well, flatters my figure and is comfortable... I then wait for a sale and go on their web site and order a bunch of the that style... usually in multiple colors.
It blows a good part of an afternoon, but the best part... I'm not one of those gals who can't wait to take off her bra. Mine are super comfy !!!
Another good place if you have one nearby is a Hanes/Bali outlet.

Another thing is that the shape of the bra will change what size you actually are. Meaning that bra you took a picture of is not a very good bra. It's a front closure and doesn't offer much support. You will bend over and the breast tissue will fall out. I would call than an every day bra. Also there is a European size chart and a US size chart. This is why you definitely need to be professionally measured. Bra fit also varies by manufacturer. I personally an not a fan of Victoria's Secretions. If you can find a Soma they are really great.
Not sure if you have a store nearby that can help, but if you go into a large city you should be able to find a store that only sells women's undergarments. They should be able to measure a ND git you into a comfortable bra. At any rate you should be able to find out your accurate circumference size such as 32, 34, 36... etc... and your accurate cup size "A", "B", "C"... etc...
Go to a store that either is exclusively selling women's lingerie, or a store that has a large lingerie department with women trained to help with fitting. The can make sure you measure properly and get the right size, as well as the brand that actually fits you best. You will have a bra (or more than one) that actually fits correctly before you leave the store.

go to Hanes/Bali and they will measure you for the right size bra... they sell all kinds of bras, panties, etc. and know their stuff.
go to victoria’s secret and get fitted or a big department store with a women’s department.
i took my girls to VS for a fitting when they started to get bigger.Try Victoria Secret and get measured. I went and I have my size and recommended shape of bra (if that makes any sense) I should get...
What’s your bust measurement? I can’t go based off a size there are different body shapes. No wonder you’re having a hard time.
Check out the reddit feed r/abrathatfits. Did you try a 34C or a 30A?
You might find the bra size you need here.
https://www.lasenza.com/usHave you tried measuring yourself? Also I just want to say bra sizes are bullshit. I wear 30 f and can fit a "38 DDD" from a certain brand.
If there's an older woman working in that section ask her for assistance and advice
