Did you know we don't use tape measures at Bravissimo? Instead we fit by eye as knowing how a bra should look and feel is the best way to find your most comfortable fit - here's how…
How do you know if your bra fits right?
1
How should your band fit?
Most of the support comes from the underband. It should be horizontal around your body without riding up or digging in. We recommend fastening a new bra on its loosest hooks so that you can tighten it if it stretches over time.
2
Where should the underwire of a bra sit?
The underwires in your bra should sit flat on your ribcage (not your boob!) all the way round to your armpits. The wires between your boobs should lie flat against your chest without digging in, rubbing or poking out.
3
How should a bra cup fit?
Make sure your boobs are fully in the cups – a bit of a scoop, wiggle and jiggle usually does the trick! You should fill the cups without any bulging or wrinkling even in a lower-cut style and there should be a smooth line, with no ridge, where the top and the side of the fabric ends.

The support on this bra is very odd. Lovely support on the outer section but the middle part feels very unsupported. Meant to be balconette but due to issue with where support is it very much pushes bust together, boobs feel like they could fall out due to lack of support.

Review by Laughing A on
I'm normally a balconette girl, but I thought this was pretty when I first saw it in navy a few years ago (3-4??), so bought it, but after wearing it never sat 'quite right'. It does come up just a little big, which I find a lot of Bravissimo bras do. I'm 30G in Freya.
Then I did the sensible thing and went to Bath for a fitting where the brilliant lady said just try this green one in a 28GG. Oh wow, turned my melons into nectarines!!! I am tall but very short waisted, so I'm after all the lift I can get and this does the job perfectly and beautifully. Yes the 28 is a little snug in the band at first but I just figure I'll get a bit more wear out of this bra as it gives over time - the green is now perfectly comfortable; I'm sure the black I've just bought in the same size will be too.
Please, please Bravissimo, could we have this in white, it would be stunning, and more brighter colours? And how about suspenders to match too?!

I am not usually a big fan of half cup bras, they make my boobs look bigger as opposite to a full cup bra. And I don’t like bigger cleavage tops anymore, prefer some modesty. But this one looks lovely, it’s not padded and the colour is great under light coloured tops, again not needing beige bras if it’s not a white top. I bought too small in the back, but as everything else fits great I just use an extender for now.

Really wanted to love this bra - it’s such a lovely colour and style. However, after about an hour of wearing it began to rub and left sore, red marks as the straps are quite far apart (too far for me anyway). Not an awful lot of support in the front either. Such a shame as it looks great!
Best bra I’ve bought in a very long time.5 out of 5 stars

Fits beautifully. Creates a lovely shape and sits well under low neck dresses. Lovely colour too.
