16F
16F Bra Size Collection
Understanding the 16F Bra Size
A 16F bra size in Australian sizing means a band size of 16 (equivalent to 38 in UK/US sizing) and an F cup, offering a generous cup volume perfect for fuller bust lingerie needs. This bra size ensures a secure fit, where the band stays firm under the bust and the cups fully encase the breasts without spillage. For those unsure of their size, professional bra fittings are available at our boutiques across Sydney or via our Australia-wide virtual bra fitting services.

How to Measure Your Bra Size
- Step 1 - Band Size: Using a tape measure, wrap it firmly around your under bust area. This underbust measurement, when rounded to the nearest even number, gives you your bra band size.
- Step 2 - Bust Size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust (over bust) with the tape parallel to the ground.
- Step 3 - Cup Size: Subtract your band size from your bust measurement. The difference indicates your cup size.
