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’m 59 and a 34J. I bought the 34H in hopes of being able to pull it off since it was a swimsuit. The cups were too small but most of all my breasts were too heavy for a halter.

I ordered this online, hopeful that it would be suitable. I’m really pleased! It’s supportive, with a halter neck - I feel secure in it in the water. I ordered the same size as the Panache Anya swimsuit I bought last year from Bravissimo and I’d say it was on the large side in comparison - I feel I could probably have done with a smaller back and cup size in this swim dress. It’s flattering too - I can happily wander around the pool without feeling self-conscious. All in all, a great costume, but you might need to try a few sizes to find the perfect fit!

I bought this Swim Dress because I wanted to try something different to tankini’s. I don’t think it fits very well, my normal size but feels loose. I may have to return.

I think they have sacrificed the side support needed in the cut order to make the back lower. In the larger cup sizes I for one would have preferred to have sacrificed with a higher back. Or even have the back strap above the ‘skirt’. At my correct cup size I just splayed out the sides and look ridiculous. At a lower cup size I am pretty much stuffed in but overall the look is slightly better. But the fit of the skirt is flattering and I probably will wear this - but not for photos.

The structure of this suit is lovely with firm support for my belly and the small skirt provides a cute detail. However there was not enough fabric for my boobs at the side and I worried I’d fall out. Such a shame as I’d loved the look of this suit.

Really lovely swim dress. Felt really comfortable wearing it while on my hols in Rhodes. Wish it was made in more bright colours. We ladies of a certain age don't always want to wear black. Only gave it 4 stars because the skirt held so much water that I had to try and wring it out over the pool before I could sit down. Other than that I was glad I decided to buy it.
