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.

I loved this swimsuit but on day 3 of holiday some of the “scaffolding “ started to protrude from the top, eventually popping out! Fortunately we were with friends so I could carry on wearing it for the rest of the holiday, not ideal though. I expected more from bravissimo.

I felt so feminine wearing this swimsuit. The ability to change the neckline made me feel like I had a new swimsuit each day.

Review by Becca on
I bought this and the swim dress at the same time online, hoping I would love both.
This swimsuit was very unusual and I don't feel like the pictures on the website are very clear. I was in love from the pictures, but as soon as I opened the box, I doubted whether I had recieved the correct item.
The mesh material is a good concept but they are far too long and bulky. The front looked ok but the back looked awful with long mesh hanging down. I think the website should include a picture of what the back looks like. I also found that the fastening at the back was tight despite getting my bra size.
This isn't for me at all, so I am returning it. It must work for others as there are lots of positive reviews, just not for me.

Review by Rayne R on
The top of this swimsuit is what really makes it for me - I love the versatility and how glamourous it is. I haven't had any problems tying it any way I want; I tend to drag the excess straps down my back like a 'T' strap and then bring the ends around to tie directly underneath my bust, so there's not leftovers around to get caught on anything. Looks super chic. I knocked off one star because--compared to the top--the bottom is oh-my-goodness-so-boring. Contrasting shaping stripes, ruching, a chiffon layer to match the top... anything would have been better than the plain black bottom there is right now. I did keep it though, because the top is so unique and I can do so many different styles with my 28J/30HH bust! An aside on sizing: I typically do a 32H in swimsuits because I like a bit of room for my hourglass figure, but that size was WAY too big and loose, even in the cups. I sized down to my true 30HH and it fit much better. Glamorouss, chic swimsuit overall!

Review by Samantha on
This is the best swimsuit I’ve ever purchased. I’m a 34J and need a lot of support to keep my boobs lifted and in place. This means that bandeau styles are never really an option.
This swimsuit has been a game changer with its versatility and the fact that I’ve been able to wear it in the bandeau style. Even styled this way I felt as supported as I am when wearing my bra and it looked amazing. I’ve received so many compliments.
I like a little more room in swimsuits so went up a back size and down cup size.

Love that I can wear it several ways. The suit is a bit short (I’m 5’6 and ‘band’ of the bra part is about 2” too low), but the straps compensate for it when worn over the shoulder.
