8A Bras – Subtle Support, Tailored Comfort
If you're after a bra that complements a smaller bust and narrower frame, our 8A bra collection is designed just for you. We offer lightweight, breathable, and elegant bras that enhance your shape naturally. Whether you're after everyday comfort, a seamless finish, or delicate lace detail, these styles are curated to support you beautifully without adding bulk.
Understanding the 8A Bra Size
An 8A bra combines a smaller Australian band size with a modest cup size, making it ideal for petite frames. This cup size means there's a subtle difference between the bust and band measurements, providing gentle shaping without excess volume. Despite being a smaller bra size, getting the correct size can greatly improve comfort and support. Many women are surprised to learn that even A cup sizes can vary based on the band size — a reminder that cup volume is always relative to band size.
If you're shopping for your correct bra size, it’s key to understand how Australian sizing compares across different bra size systems. Our inclusive range ensures petite busts aren’t left behind, and we carry bras that focus on both shape and wearability.

How to Measure for an 8A Bra
Finding the perfect size starts with your body measurements:
- Band size: Wrap a soft tape measure firmly around your ribcage, just under the bust. For size 8, this usually falls between 63–67 cm.
- Bust size: Measure around the fullest part of your breasts. The difference in inches between bust and band determines your cup size.
Even in petite cups, accurate bra fitting ensures the bra hugs the body comfortably and avoids gaping or sliding. Unsure of your fit? Our online bra size calculator and in-store professional fitting service are here to guide you.
