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.

I used a guide for European sizes and it was completely wrong - band too tight, cups way too big. As far as the quality, it was great - well made and the material was yummy.

When I read the reviews for this bra I had to buy it. When I first tried it on it felt great, but after a while the straps started to dig in to my shoulders (no matter how I adjusted them) and the band rolled up constantly. Knew it was too good to be true! It looks great, just a shame it isn't as comfortable as everyone said it was!

I had to make a review as I was so happy with the result of my fitting on the phone. The bra feels so good and supportive. It has been so difficult to find a bra whilst pregnant and this bra is so comfortable that I need to get another one. Thank you so much for your help. I have really been so stressed out with finding a bra that fits, since pregnancies and being in lockdown, so again thank you.

This bra was suggested as an option on live chat, I wouldn’t have gone for it myself, so glad it was suggested. I am breastfeeding my 9 week old and none of the nursing bras fit, its been so stressful, I ordered every single nursing bra in a huge range of sizes with no joy. Lockdown not helping as not been able to have a fitting. I resorted to a ‘Normal’ wired bra (panache envy as that’s my usual bra) hoping to be able to have a proper fitting in store soon to find something else, but the wires dug in when I was feeding and I was getting sore and risking mastitis. I’m 30J before pregnancy, gone to 32JJ/K now feeding. Wearing Nova in 32J and it’s working well, the only bra I’m wearing in the day now (nursing sleep bra overnight). Would really fit better in a K, however I’m managing. Best non-wired bra I’ve ever tried and lovely soft material. If like me you are struggling with nursing bras give this a go. And please bravissimo, put pressure on the manufacturers to do something about the very sad state of nursing bras for us bravissimo girls at the top end of the cup sizes! Hot milk fits so strangely it just didn’t work at all, the other flexiwire ones don’t go big enough and the non wired ones are horrendous. Please try, breastfeeding is hard enough without this added stress. Nova has saved me though, now please make in bigger sizes too!

Review by Julie on
I have tried various styles of sleep bra, bralettes, PJ tops with inbuilt bra, and never found one that I was happy with. I always found that I ended up with a monoboob, and sweaty in between (prob too much info, but if you have big boobs, you know the issue!). At home, I could go without a bra under my PJs, but when camping I really needed one so I could go to the toilet block without flopping about and scaring all the kids!
But no more issues with this Nova Lounge bra - I love it! The shape gives good separation, the fabric is nice and soft and the underband nice and comfy. I'm usually between a HH and J cup, but went for the J in this, just for the extra space. And rather than just wearing in bed, I can wear this lounging about the house and still feel comfortably supported.
My only minor issue is that the strap can dig in slightly on my shoulder, but that is probably due to the weight of my boobs and the fact that it is not as supportive as an underwired style. But this is truly a minor issue, compared to all the positives of finding a supportive soft bra!
It will be great if this could be made in other colours, as I would buy it in every colour.
Well done, Bravissimo, this is def a winner!

Review by Julia on
Love this bra. Perfect for lockdown! For the first time in my life I am comfortable without wires sticking into my sides and straps digging into my shoulders. Not to mention it actually looks great under my t-shirts in a way that the so called t-shirt bras never did, because there was always a seam regardless of the brand. I only wish there were more colors, I’d buy this bra in every shade. I bought this bra for working from home but it has more support then I was expecting and I think I can pull it off in an office too.

Review by Krista on
So, in all fairness, I’ve only worn it once. But it is super comfortable, it doesn’t pinch or squeeze or squish anything. I’ve doing some sweaty, intense house cleaning in it and haven’t needed to adjust it even once. It feels so much more supportive that any other wire free bra I’ve tried - and I’ve tried sooooo many! Also, unlike many other bras I’ve tried, it doesn’t have scratchy lace or grandma bows or ugly patterns. And I don’t have one giant uni-boob. There’s Actual separation! It feels sexy and seems to be a hard worker! I love it. I immediately came back to buy another and see that it’s mostly sold out. Please bring this bra back and in more colors! I’m trying to give you my money! As far as sizing, the cups are generous, which is great since I typically wear one or two cups sizes bigger than is offered here. But the band size is generous too. I’m starting on the tightest hook, so I’d probably go down one band size next time.
