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.

Review by Lisa on
I recently needed to replace my swimsuit after it finally gave up the ghost after 5 years of quite heavy usage (initially not so much due to pandemic, but recently being used much more frequently).
I spent lots of time reading reviews as I needed something for aqua aerobics and swimming lengths, that also wasn't too short in the body as I often find with swimsuits.
This swimsuit is perfect! It supports my boobs really well, especially for a highly energetic aqua aerobics session, and I've had lots of others in my classes ask me about it where they need something with more support. The shape of the neck and arm holes mean there is no rubbing when you move your arms repeatedly for prolonged swimming sessions.
Even though it's not lined you wouldn't really know and I prefer this as it means it dries out much more quickly and should avoid the issue I had with a previous Bravissimo swimsuit where its ultimate demise was mould between the lining and the outer, despite always ensuring it's as dry as possible as soon as possible after each use.
The only thing I'd change is doing these in other colours. I'd love it in a bright colour!

Not the most supportive (i.e. not at sports bra level), but great and comfortable to swim laps in. Also easy to clip yourself!

Review by Nerys on
I swim 2/3 times a week and have had this suit for over a year. I've worn it every time, and to my amazement it's not showing any signs of wear or chlorine damage.
It's so supportive and comfortable I'm considering just buying another one next time round.
Really flattering and functional.

I like having a one piece option for various occasions and before I ordered this one I was never able to accomplish that. The fit is perfect. The support is superb and I look forward to breaking it in while on my honeymoon in Hawaii.

Review by Zaneta J on
The length of the body is bit on the long size. I am 168cm tall and it is about 3/4cm too long but does not interfere with overall swimsuit performance. Also as one of the reviews advised the body does not have that "spandex/tuck you in feature", it is more of light swimsuit fabric material.
It's too big on top. Not very supportive. Too much material.1 out of 5 stars
