Your question reminded me of http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/17/magazine/bra-trek.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm that was in the NYT magazine a few years ago: the author had a custom bra created in Paris by the great-granddaughter of the woman who invented the brassiere. (At 555 euros her purchase was hardly practical but I thought you might find the account interesting.) A search for "bespoke lingerie Paris" turned up http://www.cntraveler.com/shopping-style/2012/04/the-best-lingerie-shops-in-paris of Paris lingerie shop recommendations. Good luck!

FWIW, the American chain Intimacy, which carries European bras and caters toward larger ladies, carries http://myintimacy.com/collections/lingerie. I know that doesn't help with a location, but at least it gives you some names to start looking at. You probably know this, but keep in mind that European http://www.85b.org/bra_conv.php also differs from American (and is much more sensible).

How much are you willing to spend? I really liked Fifi Chachnil (which is in that list sophiblue links to), but even the ready to wear stuff generally wasn't below $100 per item. And yes, USian bra sizes are stupid and should be ignored in favor of euro ones. But maybe get measured at a nice bra store now before heading off in search of fancypants in Paris.

I am used to spending $75-$100 for a good bra. I am still losing weight so don't want to spend too much more than that.

If you're a large size, I would not recommend getting measured at M+S - they measured my 34FF as a 40C. The bras themselves, though, do the job.
