8C Bras – Petite Band, Balanced Support
Understanding the 8C Bra Size
Wearing an 8C bra size means your band size is equivalent to an Australian size 8 (approximate underbust measurement of 68–72cm) and your cup size is a C, offering balanced support and volume. This combo is a popular choice for those after a snug fit with just the right lift. It's part of our extensive range of bra sizes tailored for all body types.

How to Measure for an 8C Bra
To find your correct bra size, grab a tape measure and stand in front of a mirror. Here's a quick guide to bra fitting:
- Wrap the tape firmly around your ribcage just under your bust to get your band size/rib-cage measurement. If it’s 68–72cm, your actual band size is 8.
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust. This is your bust measurement.
- Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement to find your cup size. A 15cm difference generally equals a C cup.
