Berlei Measure Guide

Bust

  • Grab a tape measure & measure under your bust. Run the tape measure where the bottom of your bra would go. Using the Berlei Size Chart, work out what size you are

  • The right bra should be snug around your bust

  • It's too small if the cups cut in, if the centre front is sitting away from your body, or if your breast is bulging over the top of the cup

  • The straps should rest firmly & comfortably so your bust is sitting halfway between your elbow & your shoulder

  • The strap at the back should sit low, beneath your shoulder blades

  • Too tight, & they'll pull the back of your bra up towards your neck & feel uncomfortable

  • Too loose, & they'll fall off your shoulders & make your bust appear saggy

  • Signs the cup size is too small - Your bust isn't entirely encased by the underwire, & the underwire is cutting into your bust. Or the centre front could be lifting away from the body. This meant the cups are too small & your bust is pushing the centre front away. The body size is too tight & pulling the wire so tightly against the chest that it becomes distorted & no longer follows the natural crease of your bust. Your bust is spilling of the front of the cup

  • Signs the cup size is too big - The fabric is wrinkling & loose on either cup. Your bust is sagging & doesn't feel uplifted or supported by the bra

  • Signs the body size is too small - The band at the back is overstretched & the straps are sitting far off to the sides. The underwire at the front of the bra is being pulled further down the ribcage
