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.

I have this bra in every colour, it’s my go to bra every day! The fit, the shape and the lift it gives me is awesome (after 2 kids). I always do the small clip at top up first then put it over my head and yes there is 4 hook and eye to do up but you get used it and the I felt it gives me more support and I felt more secure in it, to me the cups come up slightly larger so try it on to get best fit! They need to do this bra in nude as the pink is slightly too dark under white! For me it’s the best bra I’ve ever had, I feel good in it, thanks Bravissimo!

Review by Trina W on
It fits so perfectly and is very comfortable. The straps lay in a different location across the shoulders from other bras, which is a nice break. Despite the plunge style, my boobs stay securely in place (not like another similarly-styled bra, not from Bravissimo). I also love the side silhouette of my chest in this bra, it is able to hold my boobs up where they belong! The back of the neck closure was a bit complicated, but I usually keep that closed and slip it over my head to make it easier.
OK bra, poorly scaled for small band sizes2 out of 5 stars

Review by Maria on
I'll start my review by stating that I had to compromise on size with this bra. I purchased a 28J, but have to wear it on the tightest hooks so ideally I would have needed a 26JJ. The cup does come up a little on the bigger size for a Bravissimo bra, which is good for me as I normally spill out of a 28J. The material of this bra is lovely and soft and the idea behind the design is lovely. Fit wise I encountered a few problems. The underwires are absurdly wide, I find that they finish closer to my back than my front, and the underwire arcs awkwardly away from under my breasts. Bravissimo, you really need to actually look at some women with small band sizes with a large cup size, this is a common issue with your bras because you fail to account for the fact that people with narrow backs are often narrow in front as well.
The cups are incredibly shallow at the bottom, which does make me look incredibly booby, but also makes the bra slide down as my breast simply can't fit into the bottom of the cup.
Finally, less of a fit issue and more of a scaling issue. The lace panels on the 28 band are much narrower than shown in the product pictures. You may think, "it's a 28 band, that makes sense" but proportionately there is less lace, instead of starting at near the hooks in the middle it starts further away, and the lace doesn't extend as far around, so instead of the look being thin at the top but wider at the bottom the lace just goes straight down which doesn't look anywhere near as lovely. Bravissimo, please work with some women in my size range when you're developing bras to help you figure out what actually works. I volunteer as tribute.

Review by K on
This is by far the best bra I have ever owned. After getting stabbed in the side by my underwire on a previous bra, I went to try this on. I was not expecting how comfortable it feels. It’s so soft and I can barely feel I’m wearing a bra except for the fabulous cleavage it gives! For a 38GG, it’s impressive. Well done Bravissimo!

Review by Victoria on
I am in LOVE with this bra. I have narrow shoulders and no matter how tightly I adjust regular bra straps, they fall down all the time, which is really annoying. As well as the lace back being really pretty (and comfortable!), the halter style means no more falling down bra straps! I don't even mind having the lace back show, because it's so pretty and on trend. More colours please, Bravissimo!

Thanks Ruth - your instructions made this clip so much easier to work out.
Still undecided on the bra, but at least I can put it on fully now!
