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 is my favourite bra in past few years, I can’t find anything wrong with it. Straps are bit thin, but very soft and don’t dig in my shoulders like on other bras. It gives me perfect support and feels comfortable wearing all day.

Review by Tracey on
Like another reviewer said this bra looked and felt great when I tried it on in the changing room. But when I tried it again at home I immediately knew it wasn’t right for me. It comes up really high under my arms and constantly rubs with every movement. It also pushes my boobs together to the extreme that I got a very unattractive double boob effect and felt like I was going to fall out of the front. It showed underneath my clothes as the edging is quite stiff which I didn’t like. Luckily customer services is great and I can post it back rather than having to go on a massive trek to my nearest store (nearly an hour!) as I didn’t wear it for long and the tags are all still on. I think I need a balcony bra without the plunge so my boobs are more separated as I prefer this look and it makes me feel more supported. The search continues!

Review by Jenny on
The overall style of this was fine, and it was soft fabric so I was looking forward to wearing it.
Firstly the banding was far bigger than I expected and secondly the cups gaped massively and moved around when I did. Definitely a lack of cup support here and it did not lay flat to my chest at all. Very disappointed.

Review by Haley on
This bra tricked me. I thought it looked and felt fine when I tried it on, but after a few hours of wear I absolutely hate it. I should have tried sitting, bending, and lifting my arms before cutting the tags off. This bra is for looks and standing still only. It is an underwire prison; I am considering ripping it off in the bathroom at work and going braless for the rest of the day. It is so incredibly uncomfortable and is strangely constructed. The cups are too tall and wide on the sides so that they dig into my armpits when I sit, or gap and fold when I move my arms, shoulders, or slouch. The band starts taut but quickly loosens, so it is moving constantly on my back, and the stiff lace is causing irritation on my ribs. I keep having to readjust to put the bra back where it should be, and I can hear the unforgiving underwire squeak and protest every time. I know it will stab through the fabric in no time.

I have two of these black and nude. Quickly became my favourite as fully adjustable narrow straps and low gore suit my petite build and boost padding gives a lift after two children. Super comfortable would love in other colours please!

This really does the job if you’re after a cleavage-boosting bra! Fab uplift, great rounded shape too. One thing I have noticed - the cups are more padded on lower edge than they are at the top. The 28E wasn’t available but the 30DD works just fine for me.
