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.

Always had this bra , but agree with many other ladies, the quality has declined, I have wire issues and material that has just torn for no reason. Such a shame cause they fit my boobs great!

Review by Lesley on
Very disappointed that after years of purchasing these bras, the latest nude one I bought is a terrible fit! I have worn it because it looked OK on but when I had worn it for a bit I was most uncomfortable and developed double boobs. I thought it was me and I just needed to adjust it. However, whatever I do it doesn’t stay in place. If I tighten it, my boobs are almost under my arms. It slips forward and the cups aren’t right. I bought a soft damson one at the same time and it fits perfectly and is so comfortable. I bought one in another colour about 2 months ago and that one and some older ones in the same size and style and they are also great. I would like feedback from Bravissimo on this.

Review by Lynsey on
As a woman with a large bust it is always difficult to find a good bra not to mention a good bra at a reasonable price. But finally I have found it. I love this bra. It is comfortable and very supportive. I originally bought black and Soft Damson, I have since ordered another two, one in white and one cerise. I don't have any of the problems listed by others in these reviews, I am really happy with this bra and would highly recommend.

Not sure what’s happened with these bras. I’ve been buying these for many years and always been really happy but the last 4 I’ve bought have all had problems. For some reason the right strap keeps sliding down. The side supports dig in painfully under your armpit and I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to stitch the wires back in as these keep breaking through the material. They are also really uncomfortable by the time you are two thirds through your day. I’m not buying these anymore and I’m trying some Fantasie ones instead. Got them from Debenhams only a mile away instead of a 38 mile round trip to get measured.

Review by Barbara A on
I have bought this bra in all colours over the years but the last three have all had the same issues, the straps don’t stay put slipping down my arms no matter how I’ve adjusted them. The bones in the sides dig in and I can’t wait to get home and take it off, finding pinch marks on my skin.
What has happened? Sadly I can’t buy anymore as it isn’t just me reading the reviews.
Please, Please sort this out as it was such a main stay of my life.

Review by Tracy on
I have been being these bras forever. I do love them and have just sent for another, but I do have to say the quality is poorer. The straps don't stay up, the material isn't as soft and the bones break through the material very easy. I have tried sewing them but doesn't last for long and end up in bin. The one I am wearing at the moment has actually broken in 2 just under my armpit. Please Bravissimo look into this!!

Review by Jo on
I've worn this style for years but am very put off buying more in the future for various reasons. As others have mentioned, the straps constantly slide off my shoulders. The extra fabric along the bottom edge ends up tucked underneath and digging into my skin. But most embarrassingly of all, the underwires set off metal detectors in the scanners at airport security, leading to a thorough checking-over from security staff, whilst I stand there feeling sheepish and explaining that's it's just my bra!
No longer reliable!1 out of 5 stars

Review by Nathalie on
I agree with so many other recent reviews. I have loved and brought this bra for over 10years but the last few years the bra has got worse and worse.
Style not fit, straps slipping but worst of all the bra just falls apart!
Wires come poking through, holes and rips appead in the material the centre after only a few months of wear and washing!!
Very very disappointing
