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 bra looks nice, it's really smooth, but the size was not right for me. The wires dug too high into my armpit, and the strap also dug in and after a day of wearing it. I had angry red marks from the band that were quite itchy.
It'd make a great t-shirt/smoothing bra if you have a long torso, though.

I really hoped this would be right for me as it was exactly what i was looking for. I tried 34f too small in cup and then 34ff which was okay in the cup but came up really high under my armpits. I rang Bravissimo and they advised trying a 32 band size and 32gg I still found this to be high under ams and a little too small in cup. Sadly I just don't think this is right for me. I am not sure what the problem is as I am 5ft 6 inches tall so not a petite lady. I am so disappointed as really wanted this bra to be the one, as it comes in so many colours.

I bought this bra after a horrendous 3 day trek round the high street - So glad I took a punt & popped into the Oxford store for a fitting. Best decision ever! Superb, friendly & knowledgeable service - such a refreshing change from literally every other shop. Bought 4 bras in the end & this is my fave for everyday workwear. The bra is well made & of good quality, material is soft & comfortable, cups mold to your shape after about a day of wear. Gives a lovely natural look, disappearing under clothes - if you want up-front 'oomph' to show off your assets, this is not the bra for you. If you want a supportive, comfortable, natural shaping bra to wear all day long, buy it. Last point: I often struggle to find a good fit as my left breast is a size bigger & not so rounded (helpful!), both cups have molded perfectly to the different shapes providing an excellent even fit. My other bras were all diff sizes even in similar style: def try a few options to get best fit :)

This bra is a treat. The minute I wore it I started thinking about buying another one in a different color. Shame, navy blue is already sold out.
Apart from being comfortable it's also great because it makes your boobs look smaller, which I personally appreciate.

Review by Sophia on
I bought this bra online after reading all the reviews on it. I found it to be a very comfortable bra but it has one major draw-back; it makes my boobs appear wider than other bras. They end up looking wider than my chest width which just makes me more self-conscious about them. Otherwise it's a great quality bra with lovely smooth look under t-shirts; perhaps if it had a more upfront look I'd prefer it. Any suggestions as an alternative, Bravissimo?

Review by Jago68 on
Great bra , moulded smooth effect, but cups are slightly stretchy meaning it has a bit more give . I'm actually a HH/J in fantasie and am squeezing into this as they don't make a bigger size , it's still way more comfortable ( as is esme) than other bravissimo bras which fit , even though I'm spilling out. It also, like esme, has a slight reducing effect which in a professional job is a necessity when you are a 32/34 HH /J. One criticism would be that the straps are a little thin and the seam finishes on your shoulder making it uncomfortable. Also there should be a band around the bottom of the cups so that it sits tight as the wire from the cups digs into my tummy when I sit down . Overall though the fabric in the cups offers great technology!
