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.

Review by Elena K on
Overall, I'm very pleased with this bathing suit! Something I especially like about it is the way it looks in the back. Other swimsuits I've tried recently have an unattractive bra-like clasp in the back which looks awkward, at least on me. This one has a really unusual clasp right behind the neck and the bra closure is concealed beneath the suit. Everything looks more streamlined and it's flattering. The one thing I'm not sure about is the way the internal bra fits - i. e. baggy and not form-fitting although I know it's the right size. That said, I guess the underwriting provides me plenty of support and the less than glove-like fit is not visible once the suit is zipped up. One other thing I don't love is the seam in the seat, which comes up to an awkward part of my bum. It feels odd, but I think it looks okay, so I can live with it. Overall, very happy with this suit and hoping it will hold up to chlorine, as my last one really bleached out, despite limited use.

Absolutely loved the shape and support. Loved the wide straps. However this was baggy round the bum area and short in the body. Bending over would leave everything exposed. I sent it back, but ordered it again, debating whether I could wear swim shorts underneath to cover up how exposed the baggy bottom looked, but opted to buy another costume with a better fit. 3 stars for perfect bust fit and control. But bottom half too baggy, too high cut and too revealing.

Lovely costume. Slightly tricky to fasten yourself but very comfy and supportive for aqua aerobics.

Review by Ceri B on
I am thrilled with this - it looks quite cool and sporty but is also flattering and comfortable. I have wanted something like this for ages and simply been unable to get any sport swimsuit of any design to work with my boobs without having an uncomfortable band under them which is very hard to get on and squashes them together. This design is perfect.
Putting the costume is a workout in itself3 out of 5 stars

Review by Morag on
I have real issues getting a costume that fits and support my large bust and my shorter body.
I really don't like underwired costumes as they are a faff to get on, but bought this one after trying it on in the shop. It is a real challenge to get on as the inner cups are not attached very well and the clips at the back get twisted and are difficult to get hold of. The outer clip wasn't too bad when got used to it. I am persevering with it as it was quite expensive. I did try a non wired Speedo which was far easier to put on and was supportive enough, but too long in the body. If Bravissimo could do something like Speedo, i'd be so grateful 😊
