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.

Got this bra in 30FF and the fit is great. I sized up the back because the straps are quite thin. It is a beautiful bra which gives great support. No padding so not suitable for all tops.

I bought this in a 36GG (usually a 34H) and I'm very glad I did. Its a very flattering fit and offers the right amount of support for a plunge style.
So soft and pretty!4 out of 5 stars

The material feels really soft and the bra looks great on, not frumpy at all like some white or bigger cup bras can do. It's also not see through at all.
I've had to exchange it to try a different size though as one cup was a bit small (due to me being wonky, not the bra!) so I'm hoping the next will fit 🙏 I would say it comes up a bit small as I usually buy 30F, this was 30FF and still that little bit small..

...unless they are a narrow V shape. I find it shows a lot under scoop or square necks, even if they aren't particularly low, because its very wide below the shoulders.
Given the many comments about the back size (and the fact that its based on the Stella, which I know from experience is really small in the back) I took advice by phone and went from my normal 38GG to a 40H. The lace on this one must be stretchier because it was too big and I exchanged it for a 38GG which fits much better. I need a low centre front to avoid wires digging in, and for this its fine, and would be reasonably comfortable if the fabric wasn't so incredibly itchy. I'm hoping this will lessen with washing, otherwise it might be another style like my Stella's, destined to be relegated to the back of the underwear drawer.
Comfy and sexy!5 out of 5 stars

I love this bra. It is very comfortable but still very sexy. It is a lot more supportive than I expected and I wear it as an everyday bra. Gives a lovely silhouette under clothing. Please bring out more colours!

Review by Amanda W on
A fan of the Melrose for many years I decided I wanted a change.
I always thought a plunge bra was not the best idea for a bigger busted lady but, that is not the case! After reading the reviews I ordered a larger band size than normal with a smaller cup but neither of these were a comfortable fit so I took myself off to the local bravissimo store where I was measured and to my surprise advised to buy a size smaller band and cup.
The first couple of wearings the band was very tight but I persevered and after only a short while it was fine. The cups are elasticated so fit perfectly.
I have since bought two more of the same style. Hopefully, bravissimo will bring them out in more colours and it would be nice if the matching pants were also offered as a full brief for us larger ladies.
Lovely fit.5 out of 5 stars

I find the ‘Sierra’ is a lovely true to size fit. The fabric is lovely and soft being decorated with a lovely pattern. I would purchase this style again.
