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.

Having arthritis in my shoulders meant that most bra straps sit just on the wrong point and cause pain. The Alexa bra straps come further up which helps enormously plus the bra gives great support.

I’ve had many plunge bras over the years and having worn this for the first time today but it is the most comfortable one I’ve ever owned. It looks really pretty from the back too .

Review by Lilith on
I bought the new Alexa because I really liked the previous model. Having put some weight on, it was time to size up from 30HH to 32HH. The sizing and look is still lovely, the fit is very vava-voom flattering, but the magnetised clip is too high up (long straps) and the clip and seam scratches the back of my lower neck. I am 5ft 6 but have a shortish body, taller women might not have such a problem with this fastening. As a result, I cannot wear the bra for long periods. I would like to see Bravissimo do some fine tuning to improve future versions of the Alexa.

I love my new Alexa - I lift and carry things at work and no more strap slipping is great. Good round up-front shape too! The slide/clip top fastening took a bit of practice but worth the effort!
