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 love this bra. Great fit and rounded shape. I live abroad and can’t find good bras so I continuously order this one. Thank you bravissimo. Will be ordering another one today :)

Review by Bou on
When I first bought this bra it felt like a load off my shoulders, literally. My friends could see the difference and I definitely felt it. I bought four at the time, three brown and one black but now the brown is no longer offered? This makes me sad because I would like a "nude" bra but I am black so I don't see anything that works for me. Disappointing. I can't seem to find any other brown bras either. I struggle to find bras in my size especially ones that look and feel nice so to have my options further limited is frustrating.

When I first got this bra I really liked it but after a couple of washes the lace on the top is too tight and it makes me pop out over the top of the bra. You can also see your nipple through the bra which is not helpful when wearing light colored clothing.

This is by far the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. I found it while searching for a good nude bra.
It gives a soft rounded shape and I hardly feel I'm wearing it.
It could be a tad more supportive, but that is very much compensated by the wearing comfort.
Pleeeaaaase Bravissimo, bring back the teal!!

Funny story, I’m buying 2 more of these as my delightful 6 month old, rogue Irish wheaten Terrier puppy decided to jump up and steal my favourite most comfortable bra. Won’t lie, little bit of me died when I realised what it was he was chewing on, but so pleased I could purchase more. Great support, fit, style - everything! Here’s hoping Albert doesn’t get these too
I will never wear any other bra5 out of 5 stars

Review by Jennifer on
I love this bra and I have been wearing them for years. I am a 34 F and they are just the best fit. I love the shape it gives me and the support and I love my profile and the way my clothes look when I am wearing it. I recommend the Alana bra to all my friends. Even though you may pay slightly more that a standard bra off the high street, they are good quality and last forever. I sometimes try different bra's from Bravissimo but always go back to the Alana bra. Would love it if they offered this in a raspberry colour.
Awesome, but disappointed.4 out of 5 stars

Review by Jordan on
This bra is super comfy to me, but you can probably go down a cup size when buying, as the lace/mesh at the top of the cup is very forgiving and I have a small amount of gaping up at the top.
I am disappointed because no where does it say that this is an unpadded bra. Ever since I had my son. I have "rogue nipples" as I sadly refer to them. Almost always visible, except in a padded bra. You can still see them then, but less so.
