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.

Loved the fabric pattern but the swimsuit had darts that protruded in a way that gave an odd silhouette. I exchanged it for a Seville swimsuit which I'm very happy with.

Swimsuit was lovely but the bust area were the darts are did not lay flat and pointed out. The sawing of the darts was not correct. Ordered two different sizes and it was the same on both.

Whilst the band and underwire were great. There was too much material in the waist and weirdly on the boobs too. Lovely pattern but returned

Review by Therese J on
I'm quite tall (5'11"), so I knew I was taking a chance getting a one-piece swimsuit, but I thought I'd give it a go based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it was too short in the body, so it pulled down the top and pulled at the crotch, too. The support wasn't great, either. I have as yet to find a bra sized swimming costume that actually supports me as much as a bra.
