Describe the intended support context
Start with activity, movement and wearer expectations rather than a generic “high support” label. Define coverage, neckline, strap style, underband feel, back design and whether removable cups or lining are required.
The same design can behave differently across sizes. If the size range is broad, document which structural or grading changes may be considered instead of assuming one construction will perform identically.
Review the high-attention fit zones
Check strap tension and placement, neckline gaping, underarm coverage, side containment, underband pressure, cup position and whether the back construction lies flat. Fit should be reviewed in movement and across the agreed sample sizes.
Connect styling with construction
Multi-strap backs, cut-outs and bonded or clean-finish edges can create a strong visual identity, but each choice affects stretch, assembly, comfort and inspection. Mark stitch type, seam direction, elastic application, lining and cup access in the specification.
Record the approved support and appearance
Sample comments should state what changed and what is approved. Include photographs for visual reference, but retain measurements and construction notes. Confirm fabric, lining, elastic, cups, labels and packaging before bulk production.
Buyer questions
How should support level be specified?
Describe the intended activity, movement, wearer, size range, coverage and construction rather than using a support label alone.
What fit zones need special attention?
Review straps, neckline, underarm and side coverage, cup position, underband pressure and back fit in movement.
