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.

I ordered the next size up to my normal size, but I couldn't do this bra up. I enlisted the help of my husband and he couldn't do it up either - he said it needed an extension on the back! There was no way I was going up two bra sizes, so I returned it. It looked and felt nice though and would have been good value for money if it had fitted.

I know sports bras can be difficult to put on due their design but this one is IMPOSSIBLE to put on. As I have no one to help me do up the back, I nearly pulled a muscle in my shoulder in my efforts to get it done up. Unfortunately, I cannot buy the next size up as it is not made in that size. My efforts to get fit have been hampered by this bra. I will have to go back to swimming.
So good I bought one in white!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Annabelle on
As a 20 year-old with large boobs, I have always struggled to find a good sports bra at a reasonable price. I have had shock absorber sports bras previously when I was at school and of a daintier size (34DD). But due to size I now found it incredibly difficult to find a comfortable and supportive sports bra. I looked on here for a sports bra back in February and found the Bravissimo sports bra and ordered one as it had underwire and looked supportive, unfortunately the fit wasn't great and was returned. So, about a month ago I happened to go into my local shop (Oxford) and they suggested this one. OMG this bra is amazing and offers so much support with a good fit, it is also fantastic value for money, I also happen to be a student and get discount too (bonus). So glad I've found this bra and I went back in on my following visit in Oxford and bought the white one too.

This is my go to sports bra. I have had a few now and they have all been really supportive and comfortable however there was some chaffing with my last one. Not sure why this one was different.

This is the best sports bra I have found. I have it in both black and white and has been using them several days a week (one of them for over a year) and they are still just as good.

Review by Hazel on
I needed a sports bra for my Pilates class as normal bras dug in during exercises. This bra feels a little tight when you first put it on but after a few minutes it becomes comfortable. I did go up a back size from 30 - 32 and down a cup size from F - E and it was a better fit. I can now do all the exercises without underwire digging in or lumps and bumps when I lay down. A very good buy.

I needed a new sports bra after changing size completely after my second child and this bra is ace. I bought in store where I had to go up a chest size and down a cup from my normal 30FF.
I get hardly any bounce during an aerobic workout and everything stays nicely in place during Pilates.
It comes quite high on the chest but I quite like the look of it peeping under my vest or t-shirt.

This bra is supportive and does the job. I have had to go up a back size (this seems to be a theme with sports bras?). I find the style a little too high under the arm and the cup shape a little odd but it's comfortable to work out in and is very supportive.
