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'm sure this bra must be a good fit for someone, but it was terrible for me. The top of the cup was more closed than any bra I've ever seen. The material was also unusually stiff and scratchy.

I love the support and fit of the Alana bra, I have it in every colour.
With the limited edition colours (not black/white/nude) the straps on me tend to slip more as they are not trimmed in the same way, this is my only slightly negative point on this excellent bra. I will continue to buy them, don’t ever stop supplying them please Bravissimo!

I have to say, despite shopping at Bravissimo for many years, this is easily in my top 3 for perfectly fitting bras. It’s more of a full cup than I usually buy, but for an everyday bra it’s amazingly supportive, has excellent fit and is very comfortable. I did size up in the cup as advised so would advise doing so if you’re at the fullness of your usual cup size (although difficult to say if it’s the style or just me actually needing a bigger size!!)

The Alana bra fits true to size and is a nice every day bra. It gives quite a lot of uplift shape wise and holds the boobs in place.

Unfortunately it is a lovely bra but if you need a bigger size (38L) the support is just not there the straps aren't strong enough so the material under at the wire curls causing your boobs to look like there spilling. It's a really lovely bra but if you need a big size I wouldn't recommend.
