What is a Full-Coverage Bra?
A full-coverage (or full-cup) bra encloses the entire breast in fabric for maximum support, lift, and modesty under high-necked tops.
Who is a Full-Coverage Bra Best For?
This style works best for D+ cups, high-coverage tops, work. Recommended size range: C and up.
How to Make Sure Your Full-Coverage Bra Fits
- Cup should reach above breast tissue
- Band must be firm — most support comes from band
- Best style for D+ cups
How to Size a Full-Coverage Bra
Use your everyday bra band and cup measurement as the starting point. Use your true measured size unless the brand sizing guide says otherwise.

Common Issues with Full-Coverage Bras
