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.

After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to try the Alexa Bra, it was on offer in the Sale. Omg I love it, its super comfy, the style of it is fabulous. I love all the lace detail, making it an elegant looking bra.
Unfortunately there was only Black available, I definitely would have purchased every colour...can't believe it's being discontinued. BRAVISSIMO think you need to listen to your customers, why discontinue something which is clearly a best seller!!!

Beautiful, feminine style that give great lift and no pouring out. Slightly awkward to get on with the racer back done up, but after a bit of practice, it can be mastered. Shame all the colours don’t have this clasp on the back as the mocha one has a different clasp which is much higher. This means the straps at the top (when done up in racer back), digs in the neck. I always wear this style as racer back because for me, it provides the ultimate support for my ladies

Review by Sarah on
I absolutely love the forward-facing lift of this amazing plunge bra. The angle at the bottom of the cup keeps the lower part of my chest close to my body before going out and up to a pointier shelf. That upward angle (as opposed to the rounded shapes you see everywhere) makes my very noticeable bust feel a bit smaller in a good way, but more importantly, it seems to weigh less as I go through the day, because part of it is sort of contained close to the body. I love the thick band, and this bra has excellent side support. It's the most flattering style I've ever found at my size, and I hope it stays in stock forever. I've just ordered another because my size changed and I can't live without this bra.
[The only request I'd make for this design in the future is wider straps to distribute the weight at larger cup sizes. They aren't thin compared to other bras. I just think it would help us distribute the weight better at larger cup sizes... Also, I'd love to be able to shorten the straps just a bit more.]
If you love the fit of this bra as much as I do, I'd also recommend the Satine. It's my other go-to!
Nice fit but why change the clasp.3 out of 5 stars

Review by wendy on
I have this in black & it feels very comfortable. unfortunately the clasp on the mocha is a j clasp which is nowhere near as comfortable & pulls on the back of my neck. It’s a shame as other than that the fit is perfect, hence the 3 stars, is the clasp had been the same as the black one it would have had 5.
Please please bring it back!5 out of 5 stars

My favourite bra ever! Please bring it back in the bigger sizes! As a 40 band size girl, I have trouble finding padded plunges, let alone ones with the racerback straps that don't fall down
