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.
Not sure what size you are, or feeling uncomfortable in your current size? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! A whopping 92% of women change bra size after their first fitting with us, so you’re not alone! We promise we can find you the uplifting fit that you deserve.

So when I first tried this bra, it felt a little... strange because of the straps. But now I have 6 of these in different colours! Love it! Excellent support, comfy and dare I say sexy too? Pressure on shoulders is reduced. Fab!

At first I couldn’t fasten this and had to get husbands help , though band stretches a bit after one wear. The J clip is fiddly and you have to fasten before hand and put over head.
It is really comfy, I like the halter type straps so much. However they are a bit tighter on Alexa bra than on Jenna bra.
I wish these bras were less padded, I really don’t need it and ‘ lightly padded’ I’d still rather thick in my view, but despite that and the plunge shape which I feel pushes together too much, I’ve found it feels comfy and secure. I think could be perfect if the straps were a little longer so don’t pull, though I haven’t found it in comfy.
Overall a good purchase.
Please make lots more halter/ racer back styles.

My usual bra is the Satine - I like a plunge shape and no pattern. I rarely deviate from that as nothing seems to live up to it! In my view, the Alexa gives a similar shape and support. The back is also gorgeous! You must fasten the clasp before putting it on, otherwise it’s near impossible. Lots of lovely colours available now too so might get another soon!

I’ve struggled to find bras that are comfy, look cute and give me a nice shape for years!! I put this on today and immediately I was so excited with how perky it made my boobs look and how comfy it was!
I didn’t undo the clasp, I just kept it closed, popped it over my head and then fastened the bra the normal way, it was really easy! I love that this isn’t digging into my shoulders and the straps aren’t sliding down, I WILL be buying more! Very happy girly over here!
Excellent!5 out of 5 stars

My boyfriend bought me the lacey red version of this bra for me at christmas. I have been raving about the bra ever since. Hence why I bought a black one. These bra's disperse the weight of your boobs off your shoulders and onto the middle of your back. I found this improved my posture so much. The Alexa bra gives support and a great cleavage whats not to like. I found this came up smaller that my lacey one. Thank you bravissimo....
Lovely but...3 out of 5 stars

Review by Raychel H on
I really like this bra but...I wasn’t expecting it to make my neck hurt so much. All the weight of my boobs is now resting on the back of my neck making it very painful. But the good news is my bra straps don’t fall down!! Fix one thing and discover another problem.
The bra is very pretty and the lace lovely and stretchy and fits over my slight hump back beautifully (I have a slight scoliosis of the spine). I tend to put it on like a vest top rather than fiddle with the fiddly clasp. As I said lovely but..
Love it5 out of 5 stars

New style for me. I'm normally always in a Deco but wanted something more comfy when working at home. This bra is both comfy and looks good, the two don't always go together in my experience
