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 followed the bra fitting guide and it was accurate for the band. I went down a size. The cup was reasonable but I feel a little small. The back is very pretty and the halterneck fitting easy to use once I figured out it was part of the ring on the strap!
No slipping straps!5 out of 5 stars

After a few sizing issues (had to go down a back size and up a cup size) I find it pretty comfy to wear all day. Gives great cleavage and uplift without spillage!
I like it but wish it was a little easer to put on4 out of 5 stars

Review by PJay on
This bra ticks allot of my boxes, fits well, holds my boobs, can wear under low cut tops, smooth under clothes, but …… when I walk my boobs don’t stop bouncing. Because of the lace at the back there is no support when moving. Perhaps it’s because of the weight of my boobs. But if a bra is supposed to support, I expect it to support my boobs especially when I’m moving. Please revisit the structure at the back of the bra Bravissimo!
Thank you.3 out of 5 stars

Review by Dawn H on
The fitting room staff are super-helpful despite being very busy. This bra is supportive and doesn't dig in visibly at the front or back, but the vertical lace straps at the back gape a bit at the inner edge. The fact that the shoulder straps stay in place is marvellous. The underwires dig in painfully at the centre front by tea-time, always eager to get washed and changed straight away after work. Please could the wires be adjusted so that they don't dig in, and would you please make this style in a flesh-tone for people with fair skin, so that it can't be seen under a white top.
Thanks again.
