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.

The best bikini I have ever ever ever bought. I cannot emphasise enough how great this bikini is. With a pretty large bra size it is annoyingly hard to find a bikini that I am secure in and looks great. This bikini does it all. I also bought the matching bottoms, totally adore the set :D

I don't normally write reviews but I was so impressed by the Bravissimo online bra fit quiz, I was wearing the wrong bra size and the size from the quiz fit me perfectly. This bikini top in marigold is just lovely and offers a bit more coverage if you're self conscious about wearing a bikini top. I paired it with the high waisted Whitsunday gingham briefs, thanks Bravissimo!!

Review by Hanna on
I bought this top a few years ago in a lovely bright blue. I love it, have worn it lots - but sadly I’ve outgrown the cups and the underwires are digging in whenever I wear it now :-(.
It’s very comfy, supportive (and I’ve got droopy ladies) and looks great on. I was much slimmer when I got it, size 18ish and now im 22ish and only the underwires don’t fit - so it’s versatile in that respect and generously sized, without being unsupportive.
I’ve reordered a larger cup in the marigold, which will go with my range of basic white bottoms I wear with my bikini tops.
Would definitely recommend for those wanting to try a bikini, but unsure about the standard bra-like bikini top/not wanting a tankini. I feel it’s inclusive for those of us who, even tho we could wear a standard bikini, want a bit more coverage and support whilst still looking gorgeous.
Like other reviewers, I wish they did more colours/maybe some lovely animal print or patterns. Would buy them all!

Lovely full coverage bikini top, although the decoration bits on the arms do dig in a bit. Hand to send the bottoms back as the decoration dug in when leaning back against something. Feel these bits are unnecessary and don't add to the look at all, just get in the way. Otherwise lovely top.
