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 love the design and the style but the wire at the front pokes in a really uncomfortable place. I think because it’s front fastening it is lower cut, which means it just digs in and at a weird angle too. Maybe because there’s not an adjustable band I should have sized up? I do like it, and maybe in a larger size it would be comfortable, but as is, I would not recommend.

Front close bras that fit and are attractive are hard to find. My breasts are kept forward facing and comfortable. The wires don't poke underarm, nor am I having issues with the front close. It's a wee bit tight in the band (better tighter than looser with a front close), and I've adjusted the straps to almost max looseness so tall torsos might have an issue. I would definitely buy again in a different color.

Wanted to try a front fastening bra, and although this is a pretty bra, it is very small around. I could not even get the clasps to meet!

Review by Carla R on
I wore a bra that looked much like this in my younger, perkier, thinner days. It’s a gorgeous bra, but it doesn’t work for me. It cuts too tight at the shoulders/underarms and ends up pushing my breasts into a strange flat then lumpy geography.
Because of multiple disabilities I was particularly excited about the possibility of a front fastening bra that would accommodate my breasts, had underwire, and was designed for separation between the breasts. But sadly it didn’t work on my body. I do believe it may work for others with different body types.
It was a reminder that somethings are best left a memory.

The most comfortable underwired bra I've ever had!
Love the straps and the decorative back. No more constant pulling up bra straps either. Would prefer slightly fuller coverage, as have to rearrange my boobs if moving about a lot. Would buy again if other colours available.

Review by Zofu on
I love racer backs and wish Bravissimo would make more and in skin tone colours too.
This looks awesome on. I especially like the fact the lace band at the back is pretty wide. This is a super flattering bra, once you've got it on!!
I wanted the front clasp for getting dressed under a changing robe but sadly not sure this bra is the answer I thought it woud be.
Please, please, Bravissimo, revisit the way the clasp works? To use that type of bikini clasp, you need to be able to pull each side towards each other, over each other, and keep each side level. This would be easy if it wasn't for the large pair of boobs pulling the sides of the bra in opposite directions! It is virtually impossible to line the clasp up straight. I think anyone over a dd is going to find this tricky.
So this bra would be perfect with a different clasp. I AM keeping it, but mostly becasue I need racer backs and I have v dextrous fingers. Some people who need front fastening have mobility issues and this bra may not work for them.
