12F
12F Bra Size – Supportive, Stylish & Expert-Fitted
Understanding the 12F Bra Size
The 12F bra size is a specific Australian size, designed for women with a 75cm band size and a fuller bust measurement. In terms of cup size, an F cup means the bust is around 20cm larger than the underbust, creating the ideal shape and support. This bra size is part of the bra size systems used in Australia and aligns with our commitment to helping you find your most comfortable fit. Unlike some international sizing, Australian bras use centimetres for measurements, with sizing conversions necessary when shopping for UK, US, EU, or French brands.

How to Measure Your Bra Size
Grab a tape measure and stand in front of a mirror. Here’s how to measure your body size correctly:
- Band Size: Measure tightly around your ribcage, directly under the bust. Round to the nearest whole number in centimetres—e.g., 75cm equals a size 12 Australian size.
- Bust Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, without compressing the tissue.
- Cup Size: Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. A 20cm difference is typically an F cup.
