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.

This is a lovely bra but plunge is too deep and pushes everything to the front. Nowhere near supportive enough.

This bra is uncomfortable to wear, and comes up small, which I was unaware of before purchasing. Waste of money.

Review by Nicki H on
I saw a slogan on your shop window in king street, Manchester, claiming to be able to make D cup and up shopping fun… as I have always hated bra shopping with a passion and wear those I have until they’re embarrassing because I can’t face shopping for replacements, I decided to put your claim to the test and made an appointment.
The young woman who looked after me was both lovely and incredibly good at gauging what I needed. Even the first item I tried was pretty close but within 2 or 3 changes, based on what she saw when I tried them, she absolutely nailed it! I left with one white and one black bra and have since ordered more of the same online. I didn’t get her name but she was quite young (early 20s?) with long dark hair which was curly at the ends (I have curly hair and rather more years experience of learning how to deal with it so we had a knowledge exchange of sorts). If such a thing is possible, please do pass on my sincere thanks to her. It was a stress free and remarkably quick process to get bras I really feel good in with her help and you have a new returning customer for sure.

Review by Amy on
I have just purchased 4 of these bras! I love the side support which gives the more front facing shape that I look for. The band provides firm (but comfortable) support which I personally really like. I also appreciate the extra padding on the shoulder straps in my size. The fabric of the cup is not heavy, nice and delicate. The lace pattern lovely. And I stay in place! The mint colour is beautiful. Treated myself to a Brazilian brief (size S, I wear size 10 clothes) and fits a treat.

Review by Linda on
This is a very beautiful bra (Dusky Blue) that does give a very rounded, front face shape - despite the very delicate fabric there's a lot of side support.
The band was extremely snug. I compared it to a Fantasie Aubree (which I have worn, so it may have stretched) and the Panache Ana was 1.5 inches shorter. It was also about 0.75 inches shorter than a Freya Offbeat I own. The cup size is okay.
I would recommend trying this one on first if you can, or if you're between sizes, consider getting a larger back size.
