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.

Review by CS on
Wearing this kind of bra since 15 years, it survived also a few children. After the faults were fixed a few years ago it works, holds and goes really well again. However, it would be nice if it came out in a few cold colours again. The gold on the black was a nice touch, I loved the mint and the turquoise (that was a fantastic colour - please again?), blue would be nice too. But orange and yellow just make my white skin look pale and sick - so I had to go with black now for a while ... colour again please? Thank you for providing such a nice bra though ... keep it up - I am intending to wear it for another 15 years ......

Review by Victoria M on
I have had Alanas for a few years and have always loved their solid support and lovely, upfront shape.
After a year of living in non-underwired bras thanks to lockdown life, I bought a new one, ready for the world to reopen.
Is it the same sturdy support and shape I want? Yes. Is it comfy? Hell no. I think I need to retrain my body into underwire, and wear this one a good few times to soften it up a bit. Other underwired bras are definitely more forgiving, but once I’m through the breaking in period, I know it’ll be back to being a fave!
