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.

This might be a great swimsuit but I couldn’t get it up over my hips to try it on, and I’m not particularly large in that area. I had both fasteners open and the zip down but it was too small to pull up. Also the zip felt like it would undo really easily.

Looks great exactly what I wanted but impossible to do up the clip on the back strap. Cups only attached to to the side seam that twist as you put it in.

I was so looking forward to this beautiful sexy swimsuit. Unfortunately, I was unable to try it on. The bra wires were stabbing me and the whole suit was so tight that if I pulled me, I would have either hurt myself with the wires or damaged the suit.
So disappointed, but I had to send it back

Ill fitting suit. The internal wired cups offer no support because they have no connection to straps. White lining is bulky and peeps out.

I am only 5'1" and this swimsuit was a no go. I am a little short through the torso (and therefore longer through the legs) and this swimsuit was just too long for my torso. Disappointing but sometimes that's just the way it goes!
Love this and great coverage5 out of 5 stars

Review by Nita D on
I have started swimming a couple of times a week and needed a new cossie. I used to use the Panache Athletic Sports Swimsuit 7340, which is still excellent, but now need a higher neckline and unpadded/unmoulded. My search has led me to two swimsuits. I found the Panache Limitless Balconette Swimsuit and this Bravissimo Performance Sports Swimsuit. The sizing is exactly my bra size. The Bravissimo suit has 2 clasps, make sure you undo both the back clasp and the neck clasp, to get on with a wriggle over the hips. The zip is useful, it also helps to have it undone when putting the suit on. It is a snug fit for sure and cut high on the leg, however the bottom coverage improves and is adjustable once the suit is wet. I love it.
