When you say off by 3 sizes what do you mean? Off by band size? Cup size? Mixture of both?
Also, many people don't realize that you have a "sister size" in bra size, meaning that you can probably fit comfortably in two different sizes. For example, if you are a 34B and wear your bra on the loosest hooks, you can probably fit in a 36A as well. (You go up in the band size, and drop a cup size). Likewise, if you are 34B and you wear your bra and the tightest hooks, you can probably wear a 32C (go down in band size and up in cup size). This doesn't work for everyone, but it works for many (at least many customers I have suggested it to!) So don't freak out if you normally wear a 34B but they measure you as a 36A. That's just your sister size! (I know that's not what happened in your case, but I know it happens with many people).
And I'm still standing by this:
