Explore 8HH Bra Sizes at The Foundation
Understanding Your 8HH Bra Size
The 8HH bra size is a unique combination of a small band and a full cup size in Australian bra sizing that combines a smaller band size with a high cup volume. In this size, the number "8" refers to your underbust size (band size), while "HH" represents your cup size. This is ideal for those with a petite body size but a full bust size. Choosing the ideal bra size in this category ensures maximum support, comfort, and posture alignment.

Size Chart & How to Measure Using a Tape Measure
Finding your perfect fit starts with a few simple steps. Use a soft tape measure and a mirror for the most accurate fitting guide.
Measure Your Band Size (Underbust Size):
Wrap the tape firmly under your bust.
Use this measurement directly as your bra band size, without adding or rounding.
Measure Your Bust Size (Overbust Size):
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Subtract your band measurement from this number to determine your cup size. For 8HH, the difference generally falls around 22cm.
This method gives you the most accurate read on your bust measurement, helping you determine your size crop and ideal bra size across our size range.
Sister Sizes and Alternatives
The 8HH bra size also has a few sister sizes that offer flexibility depending on fit preferences. Sister sizes share the same cup volume but differ in band size:
These alternatives are handy when you're between sizes or need a different fit based on brand cut or shoulder strap type.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 8HH mean in Australian bra sizes?
The "8" represents your band size or underbust size, while "HH" reflects a high cup volume for those with a fuller bust and smaller frame.
What if my band feels too tight but the cups fit well?
Try a sister size like 10H. It offers a looser bra band with the same cup volume.
Do you have seamless bras in 8HH?
Yes, our range includes seamless and lightly padded options for a smooth, comfortable fit.
How do I know if the cup size is correct?
Your breasts should be fully contained without bulging or gaping. Also check that your shoulder strap type is adjustable and secure, which is especially important for 8HH sizes. Adjustable shoulder straps allow for a personalised fit and essential lift—key to supporting fuller busts in both everyday and high-activity situations.
