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.

At last a plunge bra which fits my less than youthful shape! I'm very impressed and realised straight away to do up the top lacy back and slip that over the head first, followed by arms in, followed by doing up the back hooks - phew! Tiring but SO worth it. I'd love this in red or even prints
FINALLY, a racer back!4 out of 5 stars

Why are racer back bras basically non-existent for small-band-big-cup girls?! There are so many shirt and dress styles out there that become impossible to wear, and converter clips for the straps of your bra are so annoying. This is a really cute bra and the lace is gorgeous. I agree with others that the fixture they have for hooking up the top part of the back of the bra is difficult to do on your own, though once I got the trick of it down it was fine.
This bra has very tall cups. I have very narrow roots (Comexim is the best fit for wires) and these are a little wide, but not as bad as Curvy Kate. They aren't very projected at the base of the cup, so if you don't have shallow breasts, you may find that the tall cup/shallow base of the cup causes some wrinkling at the bottom of the cups by the wires. I think the cups run a little small, but it's difficult to tell since my breasts are very projected, and that can make shallow cups seem small. I also wear a 28G in the Cleo Marcie, and I don't think I would size up or down in this bra.
The material is very soft, the cups are lightly padded, and the band is pretty snug. It's definitely not a loose-fitting 28. My ribs are 27.5" with little padding and it feels snug and firm. It ACTUALLY WORKS under my racer back style dresses too, which makes me SO ecstatic! This is a nice bra, even if it isn't my best fitting, and the unique racer back makes it worth it. I'm glad I bought it.
Beautiful, supportive and comfortable- PERFECT!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Ceri on
This bra is a gift sent from god to all big boobed wonders. The support is fantastic and really is a blessing having the straps higher up as its much more comfortable than the usual shoulder straps. The lace back panel is simply gorgeous and a very soft lace so no itchiness from it at all. The bra gives a lovely supportive silhouette. The only slight issue is the back clasp which is tricky to do up, but after a few practice goes in a mirror you get the hang of it and now I can do it with my eyes closed! Absolutely my favourite bra of all time and can not wait to buy the new pink one. Even more colours would be fantastic Bravissimo!

The most comfortable bra I've ever worn. Top clasp is a little fiddly but you get used to it. There's no cutting in from the straps and I feel fully supported. Just wish they made other colours.

I was a bit sceptical about the Alexa bra; normally plunge bras don't work very well for me as my boobs are quite close together and I end up falling out of them... Not so with Alexa! After wearing it all day I still had amazing cleavage but absolutely nothing falling out, its amazingly comfortable and gives fabulous shape under my clothes. I took other people's advice and didn't even attempt to do up the clasp from behind, just did it up and popped it over my head - easy peasy! I didn't even have any discomfort from the racerback style - as it almost works like a halterneck I thought I would get neck ache but no! All in all a fantastic everyday bra but with the added bonus of a "wow" cleavage when you want it! Pleeeease make this in some summery colours!

Review by Chloe on
I bought this bra a few weeks after falling in love with the lace back detail and seeing that it was based on the cups of the Niya style; it is wonderful! Soft, comfortable and stylish I never want to take it off. The support and security of this style is incredible - I’ve even worn it for pole fitness and felt confident my boobs would stay put! Please make this in as many colours as possible, I’d love to buy all of them!
