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.

This bra is so soft and comfortable! I found it dug in a little under my arms after wearing it all day but after one wash it softened up a little and is now perfect! The back is so pretty - it’s lovely to be able to wear a low backed top and still wear a supportive bra! Definitely one of my favourites!

Went to the Bath store and tried this on. Incredible plunge bra with pretty back detailing. Very comfortable! Please can you make it in white and nude too.

This is my favorite bra. Hands down, the most comfortable and flattering bra I own. The combination of style and soft comfort while still providing amazing lift is unmatched. My ONLY dislike about this bra are the seam lines on the cups. They are visible under teeshirts and other fabrics. The lines are less visible when worn under a print or more bulky fabric. I would LOVE this bra in more colours.

What I LOVE about this bra:
- It‘s a plunge! I so often see nice styles here at Bravissimo but am always disappointed as they are mostly balconettes which is a cut that NEVER works for me. So I’m so very happy that this one is a plunge!
- The side panels/hooks and eyes section! They are quite wide and the four hooks are a bit of work, but they work so great in distributing the weight/pull that the back part of the bra leaves a very smooth/nearly invisible line under clothing, even if you have rather soft tissue.
- The straps! They’re not only very pretty, but also distribute the weight and take it away from the usual "strap position" on the outer part of the shoulders, which is great for a change. Also you don’t need to readjust them during the day as they can‘t slide off your shoulders.
But... there are a few downsides:
- the underwires are digging into my sternum
- the clasp on the straps is a bit fiddly (but you get used to it)
- the underwires do not sit in the crease below my boobs, but about an inch lower. A smaller cup size however is not an option as then the underwires would be too narrow and the cups too shallow for me.
Still, I kept this bra as I really longed for something new in my lingerie drawer and really like the style of this bra and the shape it creates.

Review by Sarah on
This bra is beautiful and I had such high hopes, and until I managed to do the clasp up I thought I had finally found a new style that suited.
And then I did the top clasp up. If, like me, you have big boobs and defined traps as a result of weightlifting (or in fact any traps at all from gym going) avoid this like the plague. The straps defined my traps even more, making me look like the hulk :( So upset.

Review by Alison on
Ok, so I had such high hopes for this bra. Everyone said they loved it. But now I am confused. I ordered my current usual size, 30GG. It does look good. The lace is adorable and it is perfect for open back tops or racer back tops. But after wearing it for about an hour maybe two, I noticed I had to pull on the wires in the center. It was like they shifted down, out of the pocket of the seam and got super tight all of a sudden. It was super painful when I tried to sit back and lounge. I had to take it off. Since I have already worn it out, I am washing and will try it again (maybe the wires in mine were defective and slightly bent?) but they dont look to be so. It rides too low for the tightness in the center as well. But hiking it up, I have to tighten the band or it slides down. Tightening the straps hurts my trapeezes muscles terribly! It seems there is no win for this bra yet. It has long cups and theres an inch of space below my breast to the wire for each cup. And no, the cups aren't too big, as any smaller and I would fall out the sides. I do actually fall out the middle without much movement required, so readjusting is constant. I have never found a plunge bra that kept my breasts contained for long, however. They always require extra tightening of the straps, which ends up hurting my shoulders. Huge disappointment, and waste of money. I will however attempt to have it altered to at least be wearable. We'll see. I dont have much hope.

I can only second all the reviews below. This bra is really great, soft as a kitten and very comfortable, and the plunge is both really deep and amazingly supportive. It took me a while to figure out the top clasp though ;) I'd definitely buy it in other colours!
Love it! More colours now please!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Jenny on
I love this bra. I saw it and knew I had to have it. It is the sort of bra I see in high street shops and wish I could have but can't being a large size. But thanks to Bravissimo I have a gorgeous yet comfy bra. I wear a lot of plunges as I prefer the shape and this one is the comfiest I have. I was unsure of how I would find it with the clip high up the back as I avoid items like halternecks as my boobs are just too heavy. But with this bra I find the weight is distributed making it so comfy and incredibly supportive. The cups fit perfectly with no escaping and are lovely and soft. I can't recommend this highly enough and I just hope it is made in many more colours as I'll have them all!
