16DD Bras & Swimwear

Size 16DD bras and swimwear

Size 16 is where the range transitions toward brands that specifically engineer for larger torso proportions. Elomi, Goddess, Ulla, and Sculptresse are particularly strong at size 16 and above — their larger band sizes use wider wings, more hook columns, and proportionally adjusted cup placement rather than simply extending the band of a smaller design.

DD cup at Brava

DD cup is where mainstream retail starts to thin out, but Brava's DD range is comprehensive across all band sizes from 6 to 22. One thing worth knowing: in Australian and UK sizing, DD is a single increment above D — not double the volume. It follows the convention of adding a second letter once the alphabet runs out. If you've been sizing yourself by guessing, a proper fitting often reveals women in DD who've been wearing D, or women in E who've been wearing DD.

At size 16, the strongest brands in the range are those that specifically engineer for larger torso proportions — Elomi, Goddess, and Ulla among them. Browse the full plus size bras collection.
