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.

Had my first sports bra fitting at the Glasgow store. Would definitely follow advice to go up a back size. Tried and tested on a trampoline and running around a hockey pitch, I couldn't be happier with the support - no slipping over the top and minimal bounce!

I had to return a Panache bra due to a fault. Spoke to Customer Services who recommended this bra after discussion. I couldn’t even fasten it so sent it back with an order for the next size up. Tried that bra on when it arrived, could fasten the back but couldn’t get the bra on over my arms.
Need to visit a shop before purchasing again.

I bought this after trying on almost the full range of high impact sports bras. It's a great fit after adjusting size (I'm usually a 28GG and had to down to a 28FF to get a good close fit). It compresses, holds everything still, and good grief it makes me feel so much more confident actually doing sports! If it wasn't so high I would buy 5 and wear them every day.
Please start selling in more colours!

Have to say its one of the ugliest sports bra's I've ever bought but considering I don't wear it on its own it doesn't matter. You also don't need to be double jointed and ambidextrous to get it on which is another plus point! But it really does what it say on the tin, it is a shock absorber and works. I went for my normal size and found the band fit on the last hook whereas I'm normally on its tightest. Its certainly a snug fit but it holds everything in place and they stay there. The cup size was right as well. I run off road and it does get tested! But so far this is much better (and less painful) than my previous sports bras. Some nice colours would be good??

This bra certainly holds everything in, in the right places! Great support considering there's no underwiring. It's not the most attractive-looking sports bra but I would buy more if it came in more exciting colours.

Review by Lorna on
I needed a sports bra that would hold my rather large bust in place, after trying the panache (both underwired and non-underwired) and feeling very disappointed, I tried this one.
Considering this bra is wire free, its amazing. yes it does flatten your boobs to your chest but, there's very little movement. It is comfy (once its been broken in) and the shape is quite nice too, in fact this may become an everyday bra for me. It feels so nice not to have wires digging in, yet I'm fully supported and my boobs are happy! It copes well with running and high impact sports, no dramas there.
I normally wear a 36J, was advised to go up a band size as there's very little give in this style and drop a cup. It fits perfect and I cannot recommend it highly enough. My boobs are top heavy/full and this bra copes brilliantly. Please can we have it in more colours though!
