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.

Really flatting across the entire body but the cup volume are enormous! I ordered a 36HH which is my usual size and I would say I could have ordered a 36G. I would also say that the straps dig in quite a bit too.

This is a beautiful swimsuit but it really is huge in the body. I am a 38dd and I think fairly proportionate but the body and leg holes are enormous and flap around! Such a shame as it is pretty fabric and a lovely style but just doesn't fit!

I am not usually a fan of coloured swimsuits as I think they look frumpy, but I saw this and thought I would give it a go. It is quite heavy in weight but fits well across the boobs - If you tighten the tie - you can hide your cleavage (I hate showing cleavage as it reminds me of how big my boobs are and I like to forget!!) . It looks good!
Unfortunately, I am going to return it as it is a bit too loose (I am a size 16 in clothing but a 34hh in bra) - I wonder if buying a smaller back size to a 32 and go up in a cup would help? It is, as is the case with all swimsuits for us apple shaped lasses, too baggy on the backside - and I don't want to flash anyone once underwater! I will be in store tomorrow to see if the change of size works.....

Review by Beverley on
Cup size to big . Due to design unable to get over hips as the back has not been cut low to allow for hip size so when trying to get into the gap is not much bigger than the band . So my 38 inch hips won’t fit through the 32 inch bra band !!!
Lovely…but…4 out of 5 stars

Review by Lorna on
I really wanted to love this, as the print and colour are gorgeous and I liked the more modest neckline. However, it’s very long in the body and had too much excess fabric on my bum (I had no gap between the bra clasp and the back shaping as seen on the model because of all the fabric!) but also on the boobs. It looked weird with the neck ties loosened but equally way too much fabric when done up. I would say the cup size is quite generous too. Maybe I could size down but I still think it’d be too long in the body. I’m so sad!

This is by far the best swimsuit I have purchased from Bravissimo. I do hope it comes in more colours & patterns soon. It did come up a little large in the cup so ordered a cup size down.
