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 love the Elan plunge bra so much I have 2. It is really comfortable and I feel totally supported wearing it. The colour means I can wear it with every outfit I own.

I love this bra so comfortable, but it was better before when the cups weren't as molded. Others have commented on this.

Review by Dawn on
I have just received this bra today and I am very pleased with it. There's no frills or lacy bits just a supportive and comfortable bra that looks great under a t shirt. As someone who likes a plain and practical bra this ticks all the boxes. It has even passed the running up the stairs test with flying colours! I have never bought a Panache bra before but I am so pleased with this one I have just ordered it in black as well.

Review by Sarah on
I am probably repeating what others have said already - this has been my go to for 10 years but this iteration is terrible. Underwriting comes through within a couple of months and the straps are a comedy exercise in inadvertent stripping. Nothing seems to make them stay in the loops for long - seriously irritating.

Review by Barbara on
I have bought this bra for a number of years, but the last one wasn’t the same quality and reading the reviews I wasn’t alone in my views. So when I needed to replace my nude Porcelain Elan bra I chose a different style and I was disappointed, so I went online to use the chat for help to buy a t-shirt bra. What fab service. Despite my concerns, I was assured that this bra was back to a good shape and quality far better than my last experience with this bra. I wasn’t disappointed. The shape is back to a moulded style and it is true to size and very comfortable. Well done Bravissimo and to the excellent customer service girls who I dealt with deserve some credit. Back to being a happy customer.

Review by Georgia on
I bought this bra after being fitted in store, it was exactly what I needed, after my bras from another store kept getting too loose after a couple of weeks of owning them, as it keeps its shape well and offered strong support. I was very happy until the underwire popped out. However, Bravissimo were great and sent a replacement straight away and a return label for the bra and my new one was equally as good until now, two months after, it's under-wiring is starting to appear through the fabric and I am sure it will soon pop out. I would understand if I had not had a fitting as this could have been my fault for choosing an incorrect size but I bought the size the fitter recommended which does fit really well and comfortably so I can only conclude this issue is a design fault with the fabric used around the underwire. Bravissimo now want me to send it back leaving me without an alternative for that time unless I buy another which is not very helpful, very disappointed as think I will have to change styles and risk the same issues I was having before.
