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.

This fits beautifully over my body and gives me coverage over the boobs for my 1yr old's swimming lessons, much better than my previous costume. However, the underwire is in a very strange place, it's not anywhere near large enough, but the space in the costume is large enough. It's an odd fit, but once used to it it's not totally uncomfortable.

Review by Miranda on
This is the best-fitting swimsuit I've ever bought. I'm 5'8", size 12/14, 30GG, long in the body; the bra size was spot on and it was long enough to prevent the dreaded wedgie/dragged-down boobies/cheese-wire straps. Good bottom coverage even though I'm a 16 in standard M&S knickers, which I appreciate as high-legged and skimpy does my 54 year old bod no favours, and the bust support is rock-solid with no danger or fall-out! I'm looking forward to swimming in it as I think I'll just be able to forget about it! Also, even though it's a plain black costume it's not too staid or dull as the mesh insert adds a touch of glam, and dare I say an understated whiff of sexy?
Lovely fit!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Suzanne on
I need a swimsuit for a holiday. First swimsuit purchase in over 10 years, and my last one was from a supermarkets own clothing chain. I haven't been able to find anything suitable in a store or online that doesn't either result in side boob, top spillage or just looks ridiculous. Then I remembered Bravissimo! Why didn't I just save myself time and bother and shop here first???!!! In truth, I'd set myself a budget and although I know you get what you pay for, I really thought a bit of stretchy fabric to cover my modesty while I have a dip in the pool wouldn't require such a stretch of budget. However, I found this speedo Iris swimsuit which I ordered yesterday, it arrived today and I am over the moon with it!fits perfectly, very flattering, nothing is squashed, digging in, or spilling out. It looks fantastic. I am a size 18, and usually a 40G. I ordered a 40GG and its spot on. Fabulous service, lovely product! BRAVO Bravissimo

I was a bit nervous that this wouldn’t fit my body (I’m a size 18) but it does and it’s such a supportive swimsuit. 100% recommend it

Review by Jenny on
My advice is read the reviews and do not buy unless you have a long torso. I'm usually 32JJ/34JJ depending on style. Because of reviews I tried 34JJ and 32J, 34JJ was far too big, 32J seemed good. I noticed that the 34JJ was about an inch longer, but trying on at home 32J seemed to fit well. Unfortunately, for swimming costumes the test is doing lengths. It comes up very high at the front and I could feel it hitting my throat, I also hadn't realised how high it sits under my arm and after my swimming session my under arm was rubbed raw. Sadly now worn I can't return so have wasted £65 on a swimming costume I can't wear.
Just what I wanted5 out of 5 stars

Review by Veronica P on
This is the first swimsuit I've had since I was a child that fits me proportionally. And does it without making me feel uncomfortable or like I look bad. The cups are very full coverage in terms of size, but I really don't mind. I was scared it wouldn't fit the rest of my body without going see through, but it looks perfect all over.
They also weren't lying when they said it was quick dry, it would be soaking straight out of the pool but be mostly dry by the time I got it off (apart from the gusset but that's double layered so I understand).
Overall; really recommend
