16HH Bra Size Collection

Understanding Your 16HH Bra Size

The 16HH is an Australian bra size that combines a band size of 16 with a high-volume cup size of HH. The number 16 corresponds to a band measurement of approximately 91–96 cm under the bust, also referred to as your underbust measurement. The HH cup provides extra depth and support, ideal for those with a fuller bust. At The Foundation, we celebrate all body sizes and support you with inclusive styles tailored for curves, proudly contributing to the evolving lingerie industry.

Quick Sizing Guide: Find Your Fit with a Tape Measure

Knowing your under bust and bust measurement is the key to nailing your perfect bra size. Here’s a quick guide:

• Band size: Use a tape measure to wrap around your ribcage, just under your bust. Round to the nearest even number (cm). This is your underbust measurement.
• Bust size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. This is also known as your over bust measurement.
• Subtract your band from your bust. The difference gives you your cup size.

Understanding both your bust and underbust helps you find the right clothing size and bra style. For additional clarity, we recommend referring to our size chart or the detailed fitting matrix. Need help with sizing? Our bra fittings service includes expert guidance from our in-store team.

Sister Sizes and Alternatives

If the 16HH feels too snug or loose, try a sister size to maintain the same cup volume with slight band adjustments. Opt for a tighter band, such as 14J, if you're petite or prefer a firmer fit around the ribcage. Choose a looser band like 18H if you have a broader torso or want a more relaxed fit:

• 14J – Tighter band, same cup
• 18H – Looser band, same cup
