Fit callouts worth noting
Bands fit close to measured size
Most Berlei bands align with tape measurements, offering a moderate hug without sharp stretch.
Try this:
Begin with your measured band; add the neighbor size if you fluctuate or prefer more or less tension.
Cups follow average depth
Berlei cups balance coverage and projection, suiting most shapes once the band feels secure.
Try this:
Stick to your known cup, adjusting only if style-specific feedback suggests otherwise.
Sports engineering changes strap tension
Berlei sports bras rely on anchored backs, racer straps, or zip fronts that alter how pressure distributes.
Try this:
Test movement, adjust hardware, and consider both encapsulation and compression options to find stable support.
Try-on strategy playbook
Dial in your baseline size
- Run the ABTF calculator or your trusted measurement routine first so the converter starts from fresh numbers.
- Keep your most reliable bra size handy; the converter maps it directly into Berlei sizing.
- Note the style you are targeting (plunge, balconette, wireless) so you can sanity-check the fit advice below.
Check band tension once clasped
- Start with your measured band and assess comfort on the loosest hook.
- If you fluctuate between sizes, add the adjacent sister size so you can fine-tune stretch vs. security.
- Use easy return windows to compare band tension across at least two sizes before committing.
Match support level to activity
- Jump or jog in place; the right size minimizes bounce without pinching.
- Adjust racerback clips or hooks to customize strap tension.
- Rotate between encapsulation and compression styles to suit different workouts.
