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 was converted to the racer back/neck clip style by the Jenna so wanted to try more in that style. This bra is definitely as comfortable as the Jenna for me - no shoulder pain and no constantly pulling up shoulder straps - but I find the padded cup don’t fit properly for me. Like most of us, I have one breast bigger than the other, so I find I fit one cup perfectly but the other cup gapes at the front. I think I’ll stick with Jenna and Festival as their stretchy cups are more forgiving.

I brought this from my first fitting, it fits amazing and doesn’t cause any aches or pains through the day. I love the back of this bra and will definitely be purchasing further colours!

I bought this bra a wee while along with a couple of Millie bras. I didnt wear it straight away but I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately I found that I spent all day pulling my straps up at the front! Obviously the lace at the back isn't strong enough to hold my boobs up. As a result of the constant pulling on my neck I ended up with a splitting headache. I haven't been able to wear it since, which is gutting because what a waste of money.
In my experience, it's not strong enough for the bigger boobed girl and if you suffer from upper back or neck issues,I would avoid this bra.

Absolutely love the Alexa bra. I am always searching for comfortable, underwired and supportive bras and Alexa nails it. I bought it in black initially. Yes - as per some reviews, it is initially tricky to master closing the magnetic clasp as it needs to firstly slot in place - but after just say 5 times I have mastered it. I have also bought within a few days of having the black bra the Alexa in lilac and burgundy - I would buy it in white if available. I cannot recommend the fit and positioning enough (front facing), and there are no nasty digging in marks after wear. Whilst I usually avoid plunge bras as I never wish to enlarge the appearance of my boobs, the plunge on the Alexa is a lovely design feature. The padding also did not over enhance size. I rarely post reviews but felt compelled to totally recommend this bra!

For years now I've struggled to find bra I like and have returned most of them. I decided to try a completely different style and I'm so glad I did. I just received this today and delighted with it. So comfy, looks and feels amazing. I've logged on to buy more colours. The top clip is fine if you fix it in place and pull over your head.

I am utterly in love with this bra. Reading other reviews, I was a little nervous about comfort, but the Alexa was perfect for me. I wore it all day, including housework, lying down to read, and several hours of driving. I'm usually the kind of person who removes my bra the first instant I can, but I honestly forgot I had this on, it was so comfortable. The last time I was measured, I was a 32FF, but given pandemic pounds, I sized up the band and down the cup. I had no trouble doing up the neck clasp after I had the back hooked, but I'm fairly flexible. My breasts are perky and forward facing for their size, so I don't need as much support as most larger chested women, as much as I need nipple coverage from a bra. This bra served that purpose and then some. I'm not sure that the Alexa would be ideal for someone who expects a lot of support from their bra. Being a smaller band size, I find that bra straps generally sit wide on my shoulders, making sleeveless tops and dresses a challenge to wear. The Alexa's halter shape utterly fixed that problem. I no longer have to decide between going braless or with visible straps with sleeveless looks! The bra was such a lovely fit that my waist looked tiny in an empire style dress, despite the extra weight I've gained lately. My teenage daughter described the Alexa as "elegant". She actually gasped when I showed it to her. The lace is so pretty that I wouldn't mind it showing in the back for a peekaboo look on occasion.
