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 Emma on
Always wore wired bras even though it feels like they are cutting into your rib cage so been on the hunt for a non wired one for years spending money on useless brand that say they are made for “bigger boobs “ ... but now I have found this it’s amazing I can move without worrying I did have to get a size bigger in the back to compensate for the side boobs a little bit but wow

Review by S H on
Being at home meant, like most, I needed a bra that was comfortable and where wires don't dig in. I've tried most of the non-wired bras here, but at size 36HH, they all give that dreaded monoboob. The Nova however, managed to keep my boobs separate, probably due to the crossover design. There is nowhere near the amount of support you get from underwired bras - ie I wouldn't be jumping around or going outside with this on, but it is definitely better than no bra at all. It also doesn't give me the most flattering of shapes. I wear the Jasmine a lot - upfront and together. The Nova pushes my boobs down and to the side more, almost like a minimiser bra.
I struggle with straps too - thin ones will dig into my shoulders. The Nova was surprisingly comfortable for most of the day. But sadly, by the end of it, the straps were digging in painfully. If the front part continued over for just another inch or so, this probably wouldn't have happened. But it did mean I had to wait a few days before wearing again.
Also, I found the band rides a little at the back, and under my boobs at the front rather than lying flat against my ribcage. Maybe I need to go up a cupsize and down a band size.
I am keeping it though as its good enough for being hunched over my desk for hours on end and I certainly don't mind the wires digging in after a time on every other bra I own!

Review by Kathryn D on
I wrote an earlier review saying it found that the straps were too narrow and dug in. I decided I’d try my own at home hack, and sew in some wider elastic myself. While experiment with this, I worked out that what this needed was for the wide elastic band at the front under the breast to continue all the way round to the back. The narrow elastic at the back had been folding and cutting in. Having added an equally wide band to the back of the bra myself, it’s a lot more supportive and comfortable. If Bravissimo can do the same, and widen and/or pad the shoulder straps this might work. At least I’ve managed to rescue it from the back of the bra drawer for now.

Review by Sally on
I ordered three comfort bralettes to try and the two others had to go straight back as they were pretty disastrous. But this one is really comfortable and also looks pretty good. Its really more like a nice bikini top than a bra. It minimises somewhat but separates well - no monoboob??! I wouldn’t be running or exercising in it, but it’s wonderful for its stated purpose- lounging/ working at home.
Perfect comfort and no Mono Boob5 out of 5 stars

Review by Janet on
I had high hopes for this bra but they were dashed.
I am 5ft 9in and a size 16.
I had to adjust the straps to the shortest level to get any support. The bra then actually lifted my ample bosom but flattened my boobs and pushed them out to the side and under my armpits.
The vertical seam was way off to the side and had puckers all the was down to the underbust band.
When I bent down the underbust band folded in half horizontally.
It will be going back.
Finally a comfy bra to wear at home5 out of 5 stars

I have tried a number of non-wired bars and this is definitely my favourite so far. Very comfortable and easy to wear and I didn;t want to take it off after an hour. Now if only it came in more colours!
