12J Bra Size – Find Your Perfect Fit
What Does 12J Mean in Bra Sizes?
The Australian 12J bra size is tailored for curvy women with a smaller ribcage—specifically, a band measurement of approximately 70–74cm (equivalent to 28–29 inches)—and a full bust that needs generous cup size space. The band size "12" corresponds to this underbust range, while the cup size "J" denotes a larger bust volume. Together, they form a supportive, balanced fit for fuller busts and petite frames.

Quick Sizing Guide Using a Tape Measure
Use this easy method to confirm your size at home, following our Fit Guide:
- Band Size: Wrap a tape measure snugly around your ribcage, right under your bust. Round to the nearest whole number in centimetres. If it's around 70–74cm, you're a band size 12.
- Bust Measurement: Measure the fullest part of your bust while standing straight. Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. The difference in centimetres translates to your cup size.
