Berlei Size & Fit Guide

← Fit by Brand

Choose Berlei everyday, wireless and front-closure bras using UK cup lettering with your US band number. The cup comparison and style notes below explain what to check, including band fit on front-closing styles.

US band numbers only. Keep your fitted US band number when comparing cup labels: a 34 band stays 34. Cup letters can change between brands. Always choose a size offered on your exact product.

Fit by product & style

Beauty Everyday & Classic Wireless

Use UK cup letters with your US band number. Compare the specific wireless or wired shape rather than assuming every Berlei style has identical coverage.

Classic Full Cup Front Closure

Fit the band carefully before choosing: a front closure may not offer the same adjustment as multiple back-hook positions. It should fasten comfortably and stay level without squeezing.

UK cup letters with US bands

Berlei uses UK cup lettering on our cup-sized products. US DD/E becomes UK DD; US DDD/F becomes UK E. UK E is a different cup from US DD.

For example, US 34DDD/F corresponds to 34E in this cup comparison. A comparison is a starting point, not a promise of identical fit across brands. For labels beyond this chart, contact our team.

How to measure & check fit

Use a soft tape. Measure the fullest part of your bust, your natural waist and the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level without pressing into the body. Tables labeled body measurements refer to you, rather than the garment laid flat.

For bras, measure snugly directly below your bust and around the fullest bust in an unpadded bra. These measurements help our team assess a starting size; band methods and cup construction differ by style.

  • The band should sit level and feel secure without restricting breathing.
  • Cups should contain the bust without spilling or gaping, and wires should sit around breast tissue comfortably.
  • Adjust straps without using them to compensate for a loose band. Check fit while sitting and moving.
