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.

I was a bravissimo girl before as are my daughters and was glad when the Maise was added to the range, especially having had 4 years of ill fitting uncomfortable make do bra's ! choice would be nice but happy to have one.

I am so pleased I chose this particular bra. It is so comfortable and suits my individual shape perfectly. I bought four, two pink and two blue but will get more. If they made it in white as well I would be delighted.

Review by Elisabeth on
I was wearing the wrong size bra! after taking the online fitting I am wearing a larger cup size and very happy with the support. The chest measurement should have been a 34 but was too tight so I exchanged for a 36 and I am quite pleased. I will be traveling soon and will see if they have a store I can go to so I can try out different styles. Love my new bra. PS. It took a few adjustments before the bra fit perfectly when I tried it on at home. I had the shoulder straps on too tight. I will not hesitate to call a consultant next time.

Review by Alexis B on
I ordered this bra as I was due to have a double biopsy and potentially further surgery. Due to Covid risks I ordered by phone, my recently measured size. Unfortunately this bra was so tight, I could hardly fasten it and it was certainly no good for what I needed. My appointment was brought forward and I didn't have time to exchange, so had to return, losing my postage costs. If you are aware these bras come smaller than your own brand, it would be helpful to say so. I used my sleep bra for after the biopsies, but am now lacking in confidence should I require surgery and need to purchase something more specialist. Understandably, when awaiting a hospital procedure, the last thing you want to do is increase your risk of picking up Covid by shopping in store. Your service previously has been excellent, so a little disappointed it fell short, this time.

Not at all supportive and the band folds itself over and rubs. A bad buy, I could only wear it once and have had to give it to charity. Also sizing is too big. A great shame as it looks so good in pictures.

This bra fits but is too inflexible and not very supportive. It’s not a great fit but I’m a world where post single mastectomy and being a 34G there are very few options, it seems to be better than others on the market.
