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.

Whilst I loved the look and fit of the tanking - after wearing it for a few hours I experienced bruising to best breast bone which lasted several days. I did have it fitted in store and both myself and the fitter felt it was the correct size. Do not sure why the underwire g caused bruising!

I got fitted at the Chester store for this and was pleasantly surprised by how flattering it was on (38H). The only matching pants available were the ones with the gathered sides which I settled for thinking they would be ok. But I would have preferred a deeper brief, being a size 20, they would be more comfortable and flattering. So please, Panache, can you do a deep brief to match all your range of tops?

I love this tankini top.
It gave me shape and support, I haven't felt this good in swimwear for years.
I even felt confident enough to wear it as a top.
Supportive but on the small side3 out of 5 stars

A good cossie that stays in place whilst on the move, but the wires could be a bit longer - I found they dug in but the cup size was fine.

Review by Tracy W on
Loved this tankini, the fit was perfect, no lumps or bumps. Great coverage but still shows enough boob. The length was good, with no riding up.
Didn't give 5 stars as a bit fiddley to do up, may need an extra pair of hands!!

A little long in the body, but I'm just under 5'3". Can if course be adjusted at the side, which is brilliant.
Size 34G... absolutely true to size and a perfect fit around the bust
