Find Your Perfect Fit in Size 8H
At The Foundation, we know that finding the right bra can be life-changing—boosting your confidence, posture, and everyday comfort. If you wear a bra size 8H, you deserve support that fits—not just physically, but emotionally too. This size is all about combining a smaller band size (8 in AU sizing) with a fuller cup size (H), which means you need a bra that offers both comfort and structural support without compromising on style. We’re here to make that easier than ever.
Whether you're shopping for fuller bust lingerie, bras for everyday wear, or even swimwear for size 8H, our range is curated for comfort, elegance, and expert fit. We also proudly cater to curvy women who deserve pieces that work with their shape—not against it. Our curated selection is unlike mass retailers—we focus on hard-to-find sizes and focus exclusively on supportive, stylish designs for complex sizes like 8H.
What Does 8H Really Mean?
In Australian sizing, a size 8 band is designed for a snug underbust measurement of approximately 68–72 cm. The H cup represents a significant difference between bust and underbust—roughly 36 cm. That’s a fuller bust on a petite frame, and it requires a thoughtful design that offers structured lift and comfort.
- A petite ribcage with a tight band size fit
- A fuller bust needing high-volume cup sizes
- Specific support needs like wider straps or reinforced sides

How to Measure: Quick Guide with a Tape Measure
Want to confirm you’ve found your perfect size? Grab a soft tape measure and follow these steps:
- Band Size: Measure firmly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Round to the nearest whole number. If it's 68–72 cm, you're in the zone for an AU size 8.
- Bust Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust without squishing the tissue. The difference in cm between this and your band size determines your cup size.
- A 36 cm difference = H cup in AU sizing

Sister Sizes for Flexibility
If 8H isn't quite right, try these sister sizes:
These offer similar size cup volume if the band feels too tight or too loose.
