14K Bra Size – Perfect Fit, Ultimate Comfort
Understanding the 14K Bra Size
A 14K bra size is part of the extended sizing spectrum in Australian lingerie, ideal for those with a smaller band size and a very full bust. The number "14" refers to the band size, which corresponds to an underbust measurement of approximately 90 cm (this is the body measurement taken directly under the bust, not the band itself). The "K" denotes a significantly fuller cup. This means you're looking for a bra that provides exceptional support, especially around the bust, without compromising on comfort. This is a classic example of fuller bust lingerie designed to meet specific support needs.

How to Measure – Your Sizing Guide
All you need is a tape measure and a few minutes. Here's how:
- Band Size: Measure snugly around your ribcage, just under the bust. Round to the nearest even number.
- Bust Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust while keeping the tape straight across your back.
- Use our Size Chart to find your ideal fit based on these numbers.
Sister Sizes & Alternatives
If your size is out of stock or you're in between sizes, consider sister sizes. For 14K, alternatives include:
- 12L – Smaller band, same cup volume
- 16J – Larger band, same cup volume
These can offer a better fit depending on your body shape and bra style preference.
Recommended Styles for 14K
When it comes to comfort and shape, we recommend:
- Lightly Padded: Adds subtle shape without bulk.
- Wireless: Gentle support that doesn’t dig in.
- Seamless: Perfect under t-shirts and light fabrics.
- Strapless Bras: Great for versatility in wardrobe options while maintaining support.
Look for features
like wide straps, reinforced bands, and side support panels for added comfort.
