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.

Should really have bought a 34H, but have a spare extender available, which makes the 32HH fit fine. Very comfortable and supportive, and lovely colour.

Delighted to purchase another one of these amazing bras in the sale as it’s truly the best one that I’ve purchased (and that’s been many!) over the last dozen years of being a customer. Have never had an issue with straps or any other part of the bra and the forward-facing and ‘compact’ shape that this gives me is fabulous. (I find that some bras make me ‘spread out’ even with side sling). Forget that I’mwearing it too. Please, please Bravissimo can we have something that replicates this shape as I’d buy the lot!

Review by Sophy S on
I loved the shape of the cups and it was comfy around the band but the straps kept rolling which was going to be awful at the end of a day. If you're very very slim (so that the strap sits totally flat on your shoulder), it might work better.
Fabulous shape, but the fabric rolls & cuts3 out of 5 stars

The shape of this bra is incredible. It gives a lovely pert Hollywood vintage look, (think Marilyn Monroe) & great lift.
It also looks stunning. However the fabric isn’t good, so it folds & cuts in (even when my usual band is only 28 & I got it in a 30).
I wish this style would be made with more robust elastic (straps & sides), as this is such a perfect shape. For now I’ll only wear it out for special occasions, as it cuts in too much. It’s the bra equivalent of stiletto shoes
It is slightly on the large side & I hate it when styles don’t go to a 28.

Review by Abigail on
I really liked this bra, from the pictures on the website it looked great and the star pattern is very pretty.
When it first arrived it really seemed like a good fit, unfortunately this did not prove to be the case when I had it on for longer than five minutes!
I wore it for an evening out and it got steadily more uncomfortable until I took it off the moment I got home, the wires were digging into my arms, the cups shifted around, the straps left deep red marks on my shoulders. It actually got pretty painful! I'd return it if I could, I'm certainly not going to wear it again.
The Mabel bra is so much more comfortable!

Just like me!
It’s nice to have a bra in this larger size that looks womanly rather than matronly. Pretty, supportive, and yet lightweight.
