The problem with clothes sizes is that they are all bullshit, and now you have found out exactly in what ways they are bullshit compared to the shape you actually are, so you can pick and choose the lines you use for different parts so that it actually fits :) This is a major reason for making clothes, so you can do this instead of accepting a single number of uniform and failsome shape as a compromise.

Their stuff about high-bust is a piece of crap. You should take the 18 line over the bust and then use the line that fit the other measurements, drawing a smooth line with a pencil to join them up between.
