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.

A little too small. Other brands the same size are too loose.

Love the colour and cut. Taken its time and a couple of hand washes to soften up as it was incredibly stiff on first couple of wears. Now a firm favourite. Matching pants next time please

Review by Heather S on
I can't understand why this isn't coming up as 4.5/5* reviews, its a fantastic bra. Ive ordered two more so that I've got it around for a while.
The increased cup sizing (read Bravissimo advice) is excellent for me. I get a snug to the rib cage band (can feel too tight when trying on, but if you can do it up, it'll ease) which is what you need for support and shape (not as comfy as no bra, but we're in the world of balances to get the best outcome if you've a bigger chest) and a shape that really helps me avoid looking like a wide-bosomed matron. The larger cup size means I don't end up with boobs that have eased their way upwards during the day, trying to become a top of the bra boob overspill margin all of their own. So, band size and cup size great. Shape is super-great.
To be honest, when you've a big chest, how much the bra shows through light-coloured tops or which knickers it matches is the very least of your (my) worries.
Love this extra cup space concept, thanks Bravissimo!

Review by Lydia on
When I placed my order, I paid heed to Bravissimo's advice to size down one cup and I am so glad I did. Like some of the previous reviews, I too felt I had an odd shape that my tops did not disguise very well but, that was on my first wear. The torpedo shape I initially got was very concerning but subsequent wears seemed to tame that enough that I have to really focus to see that effect and more importantly, my tops seem to completely hide this. The new narrower wires are a definite win for me as I am more up front than ever before and yet unlike my many Panache bras, I do not notice the wires at the gore or the sides The color is fab too although the embroidered stars on the upper cups are visible under clothing, as a fellow reviewer has observed. This bra in Blush Pink is my new favorite bra.
Bravo Bravissimo!

Review by Lynne on
I was recommended this online by a live chat lady as something which would give similar support to my usual (but boring) Melrose. I'm very pleased with it in terms of comfort and shape, but as others have said, the top of the cup material is a bit odd and not a perfect fit around the top of your breast. For me it is fixable with a couple of well placed stitches to draw the material towards the centre but I can appreciate for others this might not be a solution. I love the colour and comfort so will buy another. One warning though, the chat lady said the embroidery was quite flat but it really isn't so if you are wearing a close fitting top (like my golf tops) you will literally be seeing stars!

I really like this bra. I’m 34G & found this gives a good round shape. I prefer my bra to reduce appearance of boobs but still look flattering & this bra so far does that for me!

Review by Nicola on
Such a pretty bra but the cups were a really strange shape. I normally struggle with Bravissimo bras having a big enough cup for me but this one really gaped at the top and was not flattering at all! It also gave quite a flat shape with very little projection - when your boobs are this size you want to lift them up not flatten them under your armpits!
