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.

Review by Joanne L on
I wear sports bras day and night due to having breast cancer surgery years ago. I’ve always worn the Shock Absorber bra. Sceptically, I tried the Astrid High Impact bra on in the Reading Store on my last visit. Immediately I loved the silky soft material and lightly padded straps that didn’t dig in plus the colour. The shape it gave me was good and more upfront - though basically your boobs are pushed together. I was really happy with it.
I now find myself reaching for my Astrid Sports bra rather than my old Shock Absorber bra due to comfort and can wear it all day long!
As far as working out in the Astrid bra, I would say it does a pretty good job though I don’t do high impact workouts. I bought my usual size and will be buying another one soon.

Love this, it’s great for high impact cardio. Will purchase another. It’s non wired which I like as it’s lovely and comfy.

Review by Catherine C on
I've never before found a sports bra that ticks all of the essential boxes of comfort, support and pleasing aesthetics so I'm delighted to share that the holy grail has finally been tracked down. Indeed, I love it so much that I'm wearing it for high impact lying around and staring silently into space.
It's worth paying attention to fitting advice with this one - up a cup and a back size, the 32HH is perfect and I'm pretty much always a 30HH in everything else.

Review by Mrs L on
I ordered this in my usual size 28 back and couldn’t even get the fasteners near each other. I bought two other sports bras at the same time in exactly the same size (a bravissimo orbit and a panache wired) and they both fit perfectly.
Super disappointed with how out the sizing was, especially from a brand that is normally so reliable. Immediately returned it.
Can’t comment on the support or function.
