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.

The wires don't sit in the right place in the middle or at the sides. I'm still hopeful and will try again with a bigger band size.

Review by Helen C on
Before buying I read the reviews &, as suggested, went up a band size (usually a 30KK/L, ordered a 32KK). I was glad I did as it’s VERY tight (have to get hubby to help me into it)! I think I would have done good to go up a cup size too, but in these times we’re living through I don’t want to be returning & re-ordering. This style definitely stops the jiggle which is amazing! However, like every Bravissimo own brand bra I’ve ever tried it gives a very odd shape making my boobs flatter & pointy on the edges level with my armpits rather than the more natural, upfront, rounded shape I prefer (eg Panache Jasmine). Please Bravissimo make a side sling support in smaller back sizes & bigger cups (the demand is there, we all just have to buy bras that aren’t quite right because the perfect ones stop at 32 bands & around a H cup). Still, to find a bra that’s sort-of in my size is VERY unusual so I can’t complain too much...

Although this is the best support i have got from a sports bra, it gives a rather triangular shape to my boobs. It is good if you have an oversized top on but if its a tight top they look rather odd.

Review by Charlotte on
I got this last week and it’s by far the best sports bra I have had in a long time, I did have to go up a band size as per other reviews but it’s so comfortable, I am going to get another one. It’s super supportive when running or doing exercise classes! Thank you Bravissimo!

Supportive and comfortable. For me this bra is perfect. I ordered online in my usual cup and size and I needed to return it because the back was too short. I guess this is normal with sports bras. I love it!

I ordered this sports bra last week, and wore it for the first time yesterday for an 8 mile run. It was very comfortable and supportive. No rubbing or chafing during this distance and my boobs weren't swinging in all directions. I'll probably order another one and wear it for my first half marathon! Great sports bra.

Review by Victoria on
I ordered what felt like a million sports bras in tons of different sizes at home before almost giving up on my quest for the elusive sports bra that would fit and not let my boobs give me black eyes when jumping! In the end I tripped to store for a fitting, the lady only brought out this bra and, by some magic, it just fits perfectly. It’s a snug fit but not uncomfortable and holds everything in place. Am going to invest in more colours now.

Review by Nataly on
I did a work out with this bra today, it’s really good and comfortable. Normally I’m a 34JJ but I had to go up 2 cup sizes. I’m guessing because is firm and very supportive. I would recommend this for busty ladies like me
