Sports Bra Support Construction

Support is a construction system — straps, band, cups and fabric modulus — not a single marketing word.

Support systems

Map the brief to compression, encapsulation or hybrid. Then lock strap geometry, underband modulus and optional cups.

Construction details that change bulk cost

Bonded vs stitched straps
Removable cups vs moulded
Power mesh overlays
Logo elastic vs clean finish

Fit gate before PPS

Approve at least two sizes on-body. Written fit notes beat verbal “looks fine” comments.

FAQ

Compression or encapsulation?

Low–medium impact often uses compression; higher impact usually needs encapsulation or hybrid cups.

What should the tech pack lock?

Band elastic, strap width, cup type, power mesh zones and size chart ownership.

Can we claim high-impact support casually?

Only after fit validation across sizes — avoid unverified impact claims.
